What is the appropriate sentence for a convicted child molester who sexually abused at least two young girls over a long period of time?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Pineda, F074777 (Cal. App. 2020):

Here, appellant's repeated acts of molestation affected at least two children at extremely vulnerable times in their lives, realistically leading to lifelong consequences for them. Furthermore, appellant continued to commit the offenses over a considerable span of time. Given this record, the sentence that appellant received furthered acceptable penological goals of retribution, incapacitation, and deterrence and, accordingly, was not excessive under Coker v. Georgia.
