Man sentenced to 32 years for child molestation
A 20-year-old who broke into a house into an Indiana house and sexually assaulted a 5-year-old girl has been sentenced to 32 years in prison. We think there should be an extra zero at the end, but we’ll take it over a slap on the wrist that some of these sickos receive.
The girl has needed counseling, and her parents learned that she contracted a sexually transmitted disease from Jesus Alberto Valenzuela, Deputy Prosecutor Gillian DePrez said during a sentencing hearing.
A Marion Superior Court judge sentenced Valenzuela to 32 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to burglary and child molesting charges stemming from the early morning break-in Aug. 24.
Valenzuela, 20, nodded as an interpreter translated Senior Judge Charles Wiles’ questions before accepting his plea.
The girl’s parents attended but didn’t testify. The family has moved from the city.
