A South San Francisco man charged with sexually abusing his young physically disabled daughter repeatedly beginning when she was 8 years old was sentenced to 20 years in prison and lifetime sex offender registration.
The 36-year-old man, who is not being named to protect the identity of his daughter, pleaded no contest in June to two felony counts of child molestation and one count of ongoing molestation. He has credit of 568 days against the term earned while in custody without bail.
The man originally faced life in prison after his May 2012 arrest on suspicion of 108 counts of child molestation.
Prosecutors made the plea offer in part to spare the victim having to testify.
The man’s daughter has a chronic physical disability requiring lab work every few months. After semen was found during a routine urine test and was genetically linked to the man, authorities launched the investigation resulting in his arrest. Prosecutors say the abuse began in late 2007.
