A Dayton man will spend up to five years on probation in connection to a teen sex case.

Steven A. Burchett was sentenced Wednesday in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court after he pleaded guilty Jan. 29 to abduction via a bill of information.

The Dayton Police Department opened an investigation into Burchett after a teen reported she had been sexually assaulted. The girl was 15 when the incident reportedly happened May 21, 2021, on Central Avenue, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.

As part of his plea, two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor were dismissed, records show.
