On Dec. 14, a DC Superior Court judge sentenced a child sex abuse defendant to three-and-a-half years. 

Back in September, 48 year-old Jose Saldana pleaded guilty to second-degree child sex abuse for sexually abusing an eight year-old on Sept. 8.

Judge Neal Kravitz sentenced Saldana to 3.5 years of incarceration followed by 10 years of supervised release. 

Saldana must register as a sex offender in the District for the rest of his life and pay $100 to the Victims of Violent Crime (VVC) compensation fund.
