The Superior Court has ordered a man to spend one year in prison for sexually abusing a teenager.
Associate Judge Kenneth Govendo ordered Rodney Taimanao Deleon Guerrero to start serving the one-year jail term at the Department of Corrections last Monday at 8am.
Govendo placed Deleon Guerrero on four years of probation after released from jail.
He ordered the defendant to pay $750 fine, $25 in court assessment fee, and probation fee.
The judge required Deleon Guerrero to write a letter of apology to the victim and perform 100 hours of community work service.
Govendo directed the defendant to report to the Community Guidance Center for a sex counseling evaluation and submit to an HIV test.
The Attorney General’s Office charged the defendant with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor in the third degree.
Last June 20, he pleaded guilty to one count of sexual abuse of a minor in the third degree.
According to court papers, the defendant offered the then 15-year-old girl to drive her home on Oct. 15, 2005.
The defendant, however, brought the girl to an auto shop in As Perdido where he grabbed and started kissing her. The girl resisted and managed to run away from the car, police said.
