Gong Runbo convicted at a court in northeastern Heilongjiang province of China had had committed the offences against children aged between 9 and 16, from March 2005 to February 2006.
Gong was sentenced to death on July 13 and was ordered to pay 661,840 yuan ($84,780) to the victims' families, the new agency added.
