A Bluffton man pleaded guilty to raping then-four-year-old child today. The Courier reports that 37-year-old Jonathon Lamb pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree rape. Prosecutors dropped a specification that the victim was under 10 years old as part of a plea deal. The specification could have led to a life sentence for Lamb.

Lamb faces 3 to 11 years in prison. He will be sentenced on August 24.

The incidents happened in February of 2017.
