A Lancaster County District judge has sentenced to prison a 27-year-old illegal immigrant accused for soliciting -- then chasing -- an 11-year-old girl.

Francisco Gonzalez-Ruiz, a Guatemalan national who had lived in Mexico before coming to Nebraska, was sentenced Thursday to three to four years in prison. He had pleaded no contest to a felony false imprisonment charge.


Ruiz has been in jail since Oct. 17, when police were called about a man approaching four girls -- a 10-year-old and three 11-year-olds -- who were playing outside.

Police say the man was Ruiz, and that he twice asked one of the 11-year-olds if she wanted to have sex. Police and witnesses say when the girl fled for her home to get her mother, Ruiz chased her.
