A 64-year-old man was sentenced Friday to nearly 29 years in prison for sexually assaulting four girls and two boys in Fullerton.
Just as his trial was about to start, Manuel Linares Salgado pleaded guilty Sept. 29 to seven counts of lewd or lascivious acts with a minor younger than 14, a count of intercourse or sodomy with a child 10 or younger, and two counts of rape, all felonies.
Salgado, who was ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, was sentenced to 28 years and nine months in prison. He was given credit for 881 days behind bars and waived 1,847 days credit as part of his plea deal, according to court records.
Salgado was the boyfriend of a grandmother of the victims, according to court records. The children ranged in age from 4 to 11 years old when they were assaulted, according to court records.
