P. v. Cash
In 2008, appellant Paul Andrew Cash, then aged age 21, was convicted after jury trial of 10 counts of committing lewd acts on his half-siblings D.S. (hereafter D.) and S.S. (hereafter S.), who were both under the age of 14.[1] Multiple victim and substantial sexual conduct allegations were found true in connection with all counts. (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (a), 667.61, subds. (b) & (e)(5), 1203.066, subd. (a)(7) & (a)(8).) Appellant was sentenced to an aggregate term of 75-years-to-life imprisonment, calculated as follows: consecutive terms of 15 years to life for counts 1, 4, 8, 9, 11 and concurrent terms of 15 years to life for counts 2, 3, 5, 7. This was not appellants first criminal proceeding arising from his sexual abuse of younger family members. In 2000, a juvenile criminal wardship petition was found true alleging that appellant, then aged 14, sexually molested D., who was then about five years old, and a male cousin J.S. (hereafter J.), who was then about eight years old. Also, another of appellants younger half-brothers, Z.S. (hereafter Z.), reported that when he was about eight years old appellant sexually molested him.
