A Nevada City man convicted in 2017 on six counts of making lewd acts against a child has lost an appeal of his sentence.
Robert Lewis Taylor, 56, is currently serving 30 years to life in prison. He will not be eligible for parole until February 2040, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation website.
“The appeals court affirming the conviction validates the finding of the jury, which was to believe the victims that testified at trial,” said Nevada County Assistant District Attorney Chris Walsh.
Despite the Jan. 5 ruling by the Third District Court of Appeals, Taylor’s friends and family say they are undeterred in their efforts to secure his freedom.
