CORTLAND, N.Y. — A Cortlandville man was sentenced to up to four years in prison Tuesday in connection with the rape of a girl who was less than 17 years old.

As part of his plea deal, Means previously agreed to plead guilty to one felony count of failure to register as a sex offender, according to an official with the county court clerk's office.
He was sentenced in Cortland County Court on Tuesday to 1 1/3 to 4 years in prison.
