An American judge has jailed a man convicted of child rape to 1,503 years in prison.
Rene Lopez,41 of Fresno, California, was handed the historic sentence
after being found guilty in September by a jury of 186 felony counts of
sexual assault.
The California judge, Edward Sarkisian Jr., told the man he is a
"serious danger to society" and noted that he had never shown remorse
and has blamed his daughter for his predicament.
The man's daughter was first sexually abused by a family friend but
instead of protecting her, he turned her into "a piece of property,"
prosecutor Nicole Galstan said.
