A Kansas missionary couple has been sentenced to two years and eight
months in prison for giving brutal, religion-inspired beatings to two of
the three children they adopted from Peru.
James and Paige Nachtigal, of North Newton, were
sentenced Thursday for several child abuse counts. They entered Alford
pleas to the charges in August in which they acknowledged prosecutors
had enough evidence for convictions but admitted no guilt.
The Nachitgals were arrested in February 2016 after an
11-year-old boy was found walking barefoot in a field and told
authorities he feared returning home because he hadn't done his homework
and that was a sin. The boy's 11-year-old sister was found with a
broken leg.
The couple had adopted the children from an area of Peru where they worked as missionaries.
