No it doesn't.
From Wikipedia...
//The Oxford English Dictionary, while describing the word's etymology as "Origin unknown", states that it is "perhaps related to" nance and cites a quotation which claims the word was derived from nancy-boy (a derogatory term referring to effeminate or homosexual males). It also suggests that it may derive from the nonse, Lincolnshire dialect for "good-for-nothing fellow".[4]
Linguist Jonathon Green suggests the word derives from nonsense. He quotes a reference from 1970 citing "nonces" as being short for "nonsenses" and an additional citation from 1999//

My guess is that in the days when records were kept manually "NONCE" became the acroynym as NJ suggests. Let's face it, even the OED isnt sure. So if the OED isnt, I am not sure how anyone else can be. Certainly in my criminal days I understood that's what it meant.
As for life, he did get a hefty sentence and I rather suspect he will have a very unhappy time in prison (shame that).
My bigger concern is that his victims receive counselling and treatment so that they may begin to recover from his wicked wicked deviant crimes.
