WICHITA– A Kansas man has been sentenced to multiple life terms for sexually assaulting two underage girls in 2019, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.

On Friday, District Judge Jeffrey Syrios sentenced Clinton Decaire, 34 of Derby, to eight life sentences.

Judge Syrios ordered five of the life sentences to run consecutive to each other for a total of 272 years in prison before he would be parole eligible.

The crimes began in 2019 in Derby. Decaire knew his two victims who were six and eight at the time. The youngest girl told her mother about the assaults, and she reported it to Derby Police.

In September, a jury found Decaire guilty of multiple counts of rape and aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
