SEATTLE (AP) — A Kent man accused of raping his 4-year-old daughter and broadcasting it live over the Internet has been sentenced a minimum 26 years in prison.

Seattlepi.com reports 36-year-old Brian Keith Beston apologized for his “poor judgment” when sentenced Friday by King County Superior Court Judge Regina Cahan.

After he serves 26 years, Beston will be confined until state authorities decide whether he should be released.

Beston pleaded guilty in April to first-degree child rape, first-degree child molestation, sexual exploitation of a minor and dealing in child pornography.

His wife, Hollie Beston, is also accused of taking part in the sexual abuse and faces similar charges. She has not yet entered a plea.
