JOHNSON COUNTY—A man is going to prison for a series of burglary sex  crimes. 

Last week, Judge Thomas Sutherland sentenced 23-year-old William Louis Elliot to just over 22-years in prison, according to the Johnson County District Attorney.

In November, a jury found Elliott guilty of aggravated sodomy by force, rape, sexual battery and aggravated burglary.  

In 2018, police arrested Elliott for breaking into three homes through unlocked doors in Shawnee. 

Two of the incidents occurred near 75th and Goddard streets and the third near 55th and Caenen streets, according to a media release from Shawnee Police.
