Man Sentenced To Prison For Abusing Child

A Redding man has followed his co-defendant wife in pleading guilty to child abuse and going to prison. 24-year-old Elizabeth Sanchez and 22-year-old Kevin Sanchez were arrested in May for willful cruelty to a child. A doctor who treated the 3-year-old testified that the little girl suffered multiple broken bones and bruising and abrasions all over her entire body from being abused. Last month Elizabeth decided to plead guilty and last Friday she was sentenced to 4 years in state prison. Kevin appeared in court Wednesday and entered a guilty plea for causing great bodily injury to a child, bringing him a sentence of 6 years in state prison. It’s considered a strike offense. He must serve at least 85% before being considered for parole.
