GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - A former camp counselor has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in a Grand Forks hotel two years ago.

A jury in late October convicted 28-year-old Sean Kovalevich of gross sexual imposition and corruption of a minor. KNOX radio reports that Judge Sonja Clapp sentenced him on Monday.

Authorities say Kovalevich met the girl at a church camp near Belcourt on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. He was arrested in late 2012, after he started teaching science at the high school in Starkweather.
