Eduardo Antonio Colocho, 36, was sentenced to two years in state prison on Monday, said Jane Robison with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Colocho plead not guilty to one count of felony molestation or annoyance of a child under 18 with a prior sex crime conviction on Friday, Nov. 13.
He was arrested on July 13, 2015 at 11:50 a.m. by Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station officials and his bail was set for $170,000, according to arrest records.
Colocho has a prior sex crime conviction in 2006, “sodomy with a victim unconscious of the nature of the act,” according to the Megan’s Law website.

20 years at hard labor would have been a more appropriate sentence. Instead, he’ll probably be molly-coddled and released on parole pretty soon.
No, Hugh, castration would have been a more appropriate sentence.
Would it not be of some importance here to know what it was that he did? It merely states the charge as “molestation or annoyance” and there is a great difference between the two.
Hardin, I don’t believe it matters considering that he already has a prior/s and is already a registered sex offender for “sodomy with a victim unconscious of the nature of the act,”. For this man, only receiving a two year sentence for either “Felony Molestation or Annoyance” is a joke.
