A 23-year-old man who has sex with his underaged girlfriend at his house in As Teo was sentenced to six years in prison.
Superior Court associate judge Ramona V. Manglona, in a written order issued Monday, sentenced Frank Kaneshi to 10 years in prison, all suspended except for six years and with credit for time served, for sex abuse of a minor in the second degree.
After serving his sentence, Kaneshi will be placed on probation for 10 years. He was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine, $100 court assessment fee, plus an annual probation service fee in an amount to be determined by the Office of Adult Probation.
Kaneshi was ordered to register as a sex offender and to pay for any medical or psychological treatment of the victim.
He was also required to write a letter of apology to the victim, perform 100 hours of community service, and submit to counseling evaluation at the Community Guidance Center.
The Office of the Attorney General had charged Kaneshi with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree. He pleaded guilty to one count as part of a plea deal. The remaining charge was dropped. He was represented in the case by assistant public defender Douglas W. Hartig.
The case arose after the parents of the girl filed a complaint with the police in April. The girl told two responding police officers that she and Kaneshi had sex four times.
In their last encounter on March 29, 2011, the girl said that Kaneshi picked her up from school and they then proceeded to his house and had sex. When Kaneshi later dropped off the girl at school, her ride had already left so she walked home. At home, the girl’s father questioned her about her whereabouts and learned what had happened.
