A Wonder Lake man found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and sexual abuse in the death of his girlfriend has been sentenced to 23 years in prison.
The Northwest Herald reports that 41-year-old Thomas Brown was sentenced Friday. Brown originally was charged with murder.
Prosecutors say Brown got into an argument with 33-year-old Vitriza Wedward in June 2009. The next morning Brown told police he found Wedward unresponsive.
Brown's public defender said Brown meets regularly with a jail chaplain and recovery group. He could have been sentenced to up to 35 years in prison.
