Man pleads guilty in child molestation case By ROBERT FORSMAN, court reporter Roger Lehman, 42, entered the plea as part of a negotiated agreement between Public Defender Art Johnson and Assistant District Attorney Owen Burnett.

Lehman was arrested in June 2004 and has been in jail on a $500,000 bond since that time. According to the plea agreement, Lehman will serve one year in jail, with credit for time served. He will begin five years supervised probation upon release. As a convicted sex offender, Lehman will provide a blood sample for DNA identification. His photograph and noted conviction will be placed on the Sexual Offender Registry.
