The Tuesday date is used here pending the court record. - **California consecutive sentencing — multiple forcible sex offenses on minors** (regulatory): California Penal Code § 667.6(d) mandates full, consecutive sentences for each count of certain forcible sex offenses committed against multiple victims or on separate occasions. Where applicable, this eliminates judicial discretion to run terms concurrently. The precise sentencing exposure in this case depends on charged counts and enhancements not yet disclosed in public records. --- Independent civic-intelligence aggregator for Orange County, CA.
