WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - A Waterloo man has been sentenced to up to 120 years in prison on charges he killed his 8-month-old son and abused two daughters.

Antwaun Demon Williams entered an Alford plea of guilty on Tuesday to second-degree murder in the death of Antwaun Demon Williams Jr.

An Alford plea means Williams doesn't admit guilt but acknowledges there's enough evidence to convict him. A bench trial had been scheduled for next week.

Authorities found the baby unresponsive in the family's home in February 2008.

Under the plea arrangement, prosecutors added a child endangerment multiple acts charge. They also added felony child endangerment charges for injuries to the boy's twin sister and an older sister.
