A former Philadelphia homicide detective who was found guilty of sexually assaulting witnesses and informants was sentenced Friday to decades in prison.

Philip Nordo, 56, was given 24.5 to 49 years behind bars by a Philadelphia judge after being found guilty in June of rape, sexual assault, stalking, official oppression, theft by deception and related crimes. The theft charges relate to him stealing crime reward money in the murder of an off-duty officer and sending it to one of his victims.
