What is the range of sentences for a defendant who pleaded guilty to a range of sexual assault charges in a plea bargain?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. McLaughlin, C089920 (Cal. App. 2020):

minimum of 80 years if convicted on all counts, and possibly multiple life sentences. Instead, as a result of the plea, his sentence was limited to at most 30 years 10 months. There is no reasonable probability the extreme unlikelihood of probation motivated his plea. Instead, as the trial court found, it was far more likely defendant's decision was based on the disparity of the probable consequences of proceeding to trial and the terms of the proposed plea bargain. (See People v. Breslin (2012) 205 Cal.App.4th 1409, 1421.) This finding was not an abuse of discretion.
