A 62-year-old Goleta man was sentenced to 300 years in prison on Wednesday for sexually abusing two girls for over four years. Cirilo Martinez was convicted of 12 counts.

Martinez lived with his sister, who babysat the two girls. The abuse started when the girls were between 4 and 9 years old, and continued for four years.

At 9-years-old, the younger victim disclosed the abuse to her therapist.

During the investigation, Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office deputies were able to get Martinez to confess to his crimes.

The two victims, now 12 and 14 years old, confronted their abuser during the trial.

Pedophiles cannot be rehabilitated. Only way to deal with them is to lock them up and warehouse them.

First I would like to thank you for not deleting my post as you usually do.

Second I was not inciting violence nor fantasizing about it.

I was trying to get people to think about a 62 year old man receiving a 300 year sentence and what that means, basically 20 life sentences, and what are the alternatives.


Thank you

As a taxpayer, swift justice fit the crime.
