YULEE — Forcing a child to shave his belly earned a Nassau County man 25 years in state prison.
Lucas Wayne Eckert, 35, was sentenced to 25 years in prison after being found guilty of lewd or lascivious molestation in information released by the Florida State Attorney’s Office.
Eckert will also be label as a sex-offender after release for his lifetime.
Eckert, who is 6 feet tall and weighs over 450 pounds, was a family friend of the victim. When left alone with the 9-year old girl, Eckert told the child to shave his stomach which lead to inappropriate touching of the child.
The family discovered the incident when the girl’s mother found a cut on the daughter’s finger.
