A 71-year-old registered sex offender who engaged in sex acts with a 16-year-old girl at an El Cajon motel was sentenced Wednesday to 35 years to life in state prison. Michael Inman was convicted by an El Cajon Superior Court jury of four felony sex offenses, including possession of child sexual abuse material for the March 2023 encounter with the minor at the Motel 6 on Montrose Court.

He was sentenced earlier this year to four years and eight months in state prison.Inman was convicted of assault with intent to commit rape in 1978 in Orange County and lewd acts upon a child in 2005 in San Diego County.
