http://www.lcsun-news.com/story/new...ets-10-years-sexually-abusing-girl/691648001/Noel Mendoza,31, was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison for coercing a 7-year-old girl into performing a sexual act on him in 2016, according to the 3rd Judicial District Attorney's Office.
Mendoza was arrested on June 28, 2016, after the victim told investigators that he had used chocolate syrup to entice her into performing a sexual act on him. During an interrogation, Mendoza admitted an incident had taken place, but claimed that he had been asleep at the time. He told investigators he awoke to the child performing a sexual act on him.
At sentencing, Mendoza's defense attorney had asked for a three-year sentence, while prosecutors argued for the maximum 15-year sentence.
District Judge Fernando R. Macias called Mendoza’s actions “morally repulsive” and sentenced him to 15 years in prison, but suspended five years. Upon release, Mendoza must successfully complete five years of supervised probation, and he will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life
