A judge last week sentenced a man to 102 years and four months to life in prison for sexually abusing two children, including an 8-year-old girl who was sexually groomed for a year before he began molesting her, Sacramento County prosecutors said.
On Jan. 23, Sacramento Superior Court Judge Carlton Davis sentenced Daniel Justin Robinson, 38, for sexually abusing two girls, according to a news release from the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors said a jury on Dec. 3 found Robinson, who is also known as Aurora Nova, guilty of 15 counts of committing lewd acts upon a child, five counts of committing lewd acts upon a child younger than 14 years old and one count of forced sodomy.
Robinson became a trusted adult to the 8-year-old girl, grooming her over the course of a year before he began sexually molesting her, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
At that time, Robinson befriended a 14-year-old girl and engaged in sexual acts with her, including forced sodomy, prosecutors said. Both girls later told authorities about the sexual abuse.
Under California law, Robinson will become eligible for early release at an elderly parole hearing after serving 20 years of his 102 years and four months to life in prison sentence, according to the District Attorney’s Office. With credit for time already served in custody, prosecutors said Robinson will become eligible for parole about 17 years from now.
Depending on a person’s conviction and prison sentence, an inmate may be eligible for elderly parole after being incarcerated at least 20 years and reaching 50 years of age, or being incarcerated at least 25 years and reaching 60 years of age, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Convicted offenders sentenced to death or life without the possibility of parole are not eligible for elderly parole. Also ineligible for elderly parole are offenders sentenced for the second or third strike under California’s “three strikes” law and offenders convicted of first-degree murder of a peace officer or a former peace officer due to performance of their official duties.
