A Daly City man who pleaded no contest to sexually abusing his girlfriend’s 12-year-old daughter was sentenced to 22 years in state prison Thursday, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Pedro Diaz Morales, 37, will receive 316 days credit for time served and will be required to register as a sex offender and pay $270 to the Pacifica Police Department and $90.63 to the victim in restitution, according to prosecutors.
Morales had a sexual relationship with the Pacifica girl while her mother was at work between June 2015 and March 2016. He was convicted of multiple counts of lewd acts on a child by force or threat. The girl eventually told her mother and Morales’ DNA was found on a towel, according to prosecutors.
Morales fled to Mexico after his girlfriend accused him of the crimes, and was extradited back to San Mateo County Sept. 20 after authorities obtained a warrant for his arrest and located him there, according to prosecutors.
