Joseph Brown

A Reno man convicted of sexually assaulting a child has been sentenced to life in prison.

36-year-old Joseph Walton Brown will be eligible for parole after serving a minimum of 35 years.

The investigation began last year when police say they received a tip he, along with a woman, filmed themselves sexually assaulting a 9-year-old.

Police say they drugged the child too.

Brown pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault on a minor under 14 years of age earlier this year.

The 21-year-old woman, Adriana Clark involved pleaded guilty to the same charge.

She was sentenced to 35 years to life in prison.
