That crime requires that a defendant, having recurring access to a child, commit at least three or more acts of substantial sexual conduct with the victim over a period of three or more months.
In this case, the time period was over 18 months and there were at least five and up to ten or more separate acts of substantial sexual conduct perpetrated by the defendant. At the time of the acts, the victim was 7 and 8 years of age.
Defendant Richard accepted the District Attorney's limited-time offer of a stipulated state prison sentence of 16 years, for which any good time/work time credits he may be eligible to earn will be limited to 15 percent of the 16 years. He will also be required to register with law enforcement as a sex offender for the remainder of his life once released on parole many years down the road.
The attorneys who reviewed the police reports, filed formal charges, and handled the fast-moving court proceedings were District Attorney David Eyster and Deputy District Attorney Beth Norman. The investigating law enforcement agency was the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office, with special thanks to Detective Luis Espinoza. The judge who accepted today's plea and will be sentencing the defendant to the stipulated sentence on October 13th at 9 o'clock in the morning is Mendocino County Superior Court Judge John Behnke.
The matter was referred today to the Mendocino County Adult Probation Department for the preparation of a background study and sentencing report, a document used by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation during its intake and inmate classification process
