What is the sentence for a father convicted of sexually abusing his children?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Garcia, G055959 (Cal. App. 2019):
Appellant was convicted of repeatedly molesting all four of his daughters, "a most serious crime and an act repugnant to the moral instincts of a decent people." (Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition (2002) 535 U.S. 234, 244.) Considering the egregious nature of his actions, and his failure to show otherwise, we do not believe his sentence is cruel or unusual.
The judgment is affirmed.
