Man, 19, gets 30 years in sexual assault on child

A 19-year-old Riverside man who sexually assaulted a 9-year-old boy at a Santa Ana home was sentenced Friday to 30 years to life in state prison, Orange County prosecutors said.

Javier Enrique Perez, who was 16 at the time of the incident, was tried as an adult and convicted of four sex crimes in Orange County Superior Court in May.

Perez was also convicted of forcing an 8-year-old boy who yelled at him to stop to take part in the attack, prosecutors said.

Oscar Antoniel Arreola, 22, of Santa Ana initially denied being present during the attack, but subsequently pleaded guilty to a charge of accessory after the fact and was sentenced to 180 days in County Jail.
