CORPUS CHRISTI — A 25-year-old man was sentenced Thursday to 70 years in prison for molesting his former fiancee’s 5-year-old daughter.
Charles Cueva was found guilty last week of two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child by sexual contact.
The jury on Monday sentenced him to two 70-year sentences and a 15-year sentence along with $30,000 in fines. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos decided the prison terms would run concurrently. Prosecutors had argued for consecutive sentences , which would have meant 155 years in prison.
Cueva, whose attorneys filed a notice of appeal, must serve 30 years before he is eligible for parole.

Finally a judge getting tough on these perverts.
Must serve 30 of 70 years? I didn’t know Texas had such liberal parole laws.
Why waste any time with this cretin in jail... string the SOB up and be done with it.
Should have just taken him outside, and taken him OUT.
Low-life baseborn.
Unfortunately, pedophiles never get over their addiction.
With any luck he won't survive more than a few years in prison. Child molesters have a high probability of getting bumped off by the more "principled" prisoners. There are some crimes so immoral they gag a maggot.
Guy looks like Frankenstein’s Monster.
Now I get to pay for the asshats room and board
Well, you know how it is. Some guys just have problems finding girls they can relate to as intellectual equals.
Yeah, but those 30 years will almost certainly be in protective custody (23 hours a day alone in his cell) because if they put him in “general population” he’d be killed within a week. 30 years of solitary confinement will feel like at least 70 years to this creep.
not quite:
“District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos decided the prison terms would run concurrently. Prosecutors had argued for consecutive sentences.”
But still not bad compared to some sentences
On a separate but related note: As for whether his sentence should be consecutive or concurrent, I’ve always believed that a sentence should only be allowed to run concurrent if the crimes were committed in a single act. If there were separate acts involved in a conviction (anyone’s conviction) they should be required to serve them consecutively.
Unless he is in the SOTP program!!

Some of them hardly get a whiff of prison.
30 years is liberal? Anyway that's the minimum. He could serve more.
I think of the guy in NH (or was it VT) who got 30 day ... so this isn’t bad, but not what the prosecutors wanted or jury who set the penalty ... that would ahve been@ 155 years. This way he can get out in his mid-50s if fellow inmates don’t ‘off’ him ... they don’t like child molesters in the prisons.
There isn’t a grave deep enough for this sonofabitch.
You should save some of that effort for the grave of the guy in another thread I posted a few minutes after this one. He ran over and killed a police officer who was deploying tire tacks to end a high speed chase. It turns out he's currently being prosecuted for indecency with a child.
Bury them together — upside down. Then build a cesspool over the grave.
Actually it was a jury that decided his sentence. That's the way it works in Texas. The judge could have made the sentences run consecutive to one another like the prosecutor requested but he opted to have them run concurrent. Still, 70 years is a long time, especially for someone so young.
Most states do now. There's no room in the prisons and no more money to build new prisons. The same lawmakers who pass tough on crime laws have to pass measures to let people out earlier and earlier to make room for all the new convicts. It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have so many going down for so long on piddly little drug cases.
hope he enjoys his own upcoming molestation, sick b@stard

It’s not a matter of high principle. A substantial proportion of men who end up jailbirds were themselves messed with as children (Surprise! Surprise!) so they’re not kindly disposed towards molesters who end up sharing their cells.
“It wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t have so many going down for so long on piddly little drug cases.”
Agree entirely. In Virginia some legislators tried to get the General Assembly to look at alternatives for certain people because of the enormous cost of running our prisons, but by golly you can’t look soft on crime. BTW, Republicans run the legislature, although some Democrats also opposed it.
Paleo ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
A long time ago in a far away land used to be convicts had a pecking order but a corrections officer told me that is no longer the case. So we can’t count on others doing what the state should have and sending this one out to the morgue. Now if you can’t count on inmate justice any more who can you count on?
Any adult male that gets an erection over a 5 year old child deserves to have his erector set taken away.
