The charges against Steven M. Finch, 47, stem from alleged repeated sexual assaults against his wife. The alleged rapes occurred every month from August 2019 to November 2020. Specifications alleging Finch is a sexually violent predator are also included with the charges. In a press release, Paul Dobson, county prosecutor, said that due to the nature of the offenses and the sexually violent predator specification, 19 of the 30 charges carry with them a sentence of life imprisonment without possible parole.
