Salina ? A Salina man convicted in 2008 of trading methamphetamine for sex with a 13-year-old girl has been given a reduced sentence.

Forty-three-year-old Kendall T. Brown was sentenced Tuesday to 12 years in prison. He had originally been sentenced to 15 years but the Kansas Court of Appeals ordered another trial because Brown was not allowed to represent himself. Rather than go to trial again, Brown accepted a plea agreement.

Prosecutors say in 2005 Brown offered middle school-aged girls methamphetamine if they would have sex with him. The Salina Journal reports that the girls forced a 13-year-old girl to have sex with Brown. But rather than give them meth, he gave the girls salt.

The girl testified that she had sex with Brown because she feared her classmates.
