(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Sterling Van Wagenen, 72, appears next to his defense attorney Steven Shapiro on July 9, 2019 during his sentencing in Third District in West Jordan. Judge Katie Bernards-Goodman sentenced Van Wagenen to six-years-to-life in prison for sexually abusing a young girl. He will serve that sentence concurrently to the six-years-to-life sentence he received July 2, 2019, in Utah County for sexually abusing another young girl. The resolution was part of a plea deal, in which Van Wagenen admitted earlier this year to two child sex abuse charges in two separate courtrooms.
