Dad Gets 45 Years For Molesting His Kid's Pals

MURRIETA (AP) ― A Riverside County man has been sentenced to 45 years to life in prison for molesting two girls at his daughter's slumber parties.

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.
