“The courage of this young survivor in confronting her abuser is truly inspiring, and her bravery has ensured that this predator will spend the rest of his life behind bars, unable to harm another child. My office remains resolute in our commitment to relentlessly pursue those who prey on the vulnerable, ensuring they face the full consequences of their actions. We stand with survivors and will continue to fight for justice on their behalf.”
