Gilbert Simental of Murrieta was sentenced Friday in French Valley by a judge who said there was “little doubt” the 50-year-old would molest again if he is released.
Simental was convicted in April of molesting a 9-year-old girl and her 10-year-old sister on separate occasions in 2005 and 2006. At trial, he acknowledged twice molesting the younger girl but denied abusing her sister.
Before sentencing, Simental's lawyer asked for leniency, calling him a good man who made a bad mistake.
Update:
MURRIETA – A judge in Riverside County has sentenced a 44-year-old child molester to more than 1,300 years in prison.
Horace Mann Williams of Hemet on Monday received a 1,330-year sentence for molesting two girls under age 14 repeatedly between 1999 and 2005. In February, he was convicted of 12 felony counts in the case. He was eligible for enhanced sentencing because his crimes involved multiple victims.
Before he was sentenced, Williams spent 15 minutes verbally attacking the credibility of his former attorney, the judge and the prosecutor.
Williams served six years in prison after pleading guilty in 1992 to molesting a 5-year-old girl.
