Summary

This case arose in 2007 in California.

From case notes obtained by FLOODLIT:

“Luis Perez pled no contest to one count of lewd act upon a child. He was sentenced
to state prison for six years. Perez appeared to be “totally without remorse.” “According to
the probation report, defendant was placed in the victim’s family home by the bishop of the
Latter Day Saints church.” The investigating officer viewed the defendant “as an extreme
risk for reoffending.”
