Arthur Leon Vitasek was sentenced by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Reinstein on Friday.
The 47-year-old was found guilty in November of 26 counts that included sexual conduct with a minor, child molestation and public sexual indecency.
The charges stem from the molestation of eight boys from 7 to 15 years old in Mesa, Phoenix and Paradise Valley over a 15-year period. Police suspect there are more victims.
Vitasek was arrested in Texas in September 2006 after being on the lam for more than a year and a half.
"America's Most Wanted" featured Vitasek on the program numerous times before his arrest.
