A Santa Rosa man convicted of ongoing rape and sexual abuse of a child was sentenced Monday to 35 years to life in prison, prosecutors said.
Last month, 35-year-old Javier Cruz Navarro pleaded no contest to the sexual abuse charges, two years after a 12-year-old child reported the abuse which began when the victim was 10 years old.Navarro had regular and recurring access to the victim and would find ways to isolate and abuse the child, threatening to hurt or kill the victim's mother if the child reported the abuse, according to a press statement from the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office.
' Navarro was arrested in April 2022 and originally charged with 19 felony sex offenses. Following his plea, he was convicted of four offenses; engaging in sexual intercourse or sodomy with a child younger than 11 years of age, aggravated sexual assault of a child, committing a forcible lewd act upon a child, and oral copulation or sexual penetration of a child younger than 11.
