A former California mayor has been sentenced to six years in prison for molesting an 11-year-old girl.
On Tuesday, David Cook, 55, was found guilty of molesting the victim, who was referred to as Jane Doe, over the course of two months. Judge Robert LaForge in Sonoma County Superior Court decided to hand Cook the sentence based on impact statements from the victim, her stepmother, and father, as well as Cook s wife and legal team. The suffering [Jane Doe] has endured is heartbreaking, said the girl s stepmother. She is not the same person she was before [Cook] molested her.and she wonders if she can ever trust any man again the rest of her life.
