DOUGLAS COUNTY— A Kansas man has been sentenced to more than 27 years in prison for the aggravated criminal sodomy of two children, according to the Douglas Co. District Attorney’s office.

Zach J. Lang, 38, of Lawrence, was sentenced to 330 months in the Kansas Department of Corrections.  He must also register as a sex offender, and he will be subject to a lifetime of post-release supervision.

The charges have been said to stem from two incidents that happened between June 2018 and June 2021, where Lang was said to have abused two kids younger than 14 who were in his care.

In September, Lang entered a guilty plea to four counts of criminal sodomy involving two children.
