LOS ANGELES -- (KTLA) -- A sex crimes detective with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department was sentenced Thursday to three years in state prison for committing sex crimes against a 15-year-old girl whose case he was investigating, prosecutors said.
Neil David Kimball, 46, of Agoura, was also ordered to never contact the victim and pay her $50,000 for her pain and suffering, and will have to register as a sex offender, according to a news release from the Ventura County District Attorney's Office.
