A St. Petersburg youth softball coach charged with molesting a 15-year-old girl was sentenced to five years in state prison, followed by two years of probation.

James C. Woods, 29, admitted to detectives that he had sexual contact with the girl at least twice between July 2013 and January 2014, the Pinellas Sheriff's Office previously said. He was arrested last May.

Woods pleaded guilty to lewd and lascivious battery last month.
