Man gets 10 years for sexual assault
Shane Healy
Richard Ignacio Aguon was sentenced to 10 years in prison after entering a plea of guilty to two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct as a first-degree felony.
In a change of plea hearing before Judge Arthur Barcinas at the Superior Court of Guam, Aguon took a plea deal that dismissed a criminal sexual conduct charge, according to a release by the Office of the Attorney General.
The victims and their mother were consulted about the plea agreement negotiations before proceeding, the release said.
“Because the victims in this case had the courage to come forward, the island will now have another sex offender off the streets, prosecuting attorney Christine Tenorio said. The people commend these victims for their bravery. Because the defendant admitted to his wrongdoing, the victims will be spared further trauma of a jury trial.”
