After his prison term, Dolan must follow all conditions of specialized sex offender probation for 30 months, prosecutors said. He must not have any contact with the victim, cannot possess sexually explicit material or use websites that contain sexually explicit material, and cannot intentionally loiter near places frequented by minors.

He must also register for life as a sex offender , prosecutors said.
