According to court records, Rindt was was living in Lacey in 2012 when he took video of himself molesting a young sleeping child.
The sentence will run at the same time as a 10-year term he was given by a military tribunal. A judge also ordered Rindt to pay for the child’s counseling, and to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.
