PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A millionaire former doctor has been sentenced to 9 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexually abusing an Oregon boy.

Scott Raymond Strickland made headlines last month when he agreed to pay his victim $1.6 million in exchange for a prison term at the lighter end of Oregon’s sentencing guidelines range.

The Oregonian reported the 56-year-old Strickland apologized to his victim in court during his sentencing on Monday.

Now 18, the victim was 9 when Strickland began abusing him, and continued until he was 15.

The unusual settlement was negotiated on behalf of the victim by former prosecutor Josh Lamborn, who now is working as an attorney representing victims of sexual abuse.

Strickland also will be required to register as a sex offender.
