Convict from Fresno receives prison term for molesting numerous underage individuals
Salvador Reyna, a 44-year-old man from Fresno, California, was sentenced to prison this week for sexually abusing three minors. The sentencing took place in Superior Court.
According to the available information, Reyna provided his victims with alcohol and/or sedatives during the abuse, which occurred between the fall of 2008 and the summer of 2014. The location of the abuse was not specified in the article. Reyna was convicted of the crimes and will serve his sentence in a state prison.
The exact sentence handed down to Reyna is not clear from the available information, but it includes a minimum of 50 years in prison. Despite being sentenced to 53 years to life, Reyna will be eligible for elderly parole after serving a minimum of 20 years in custody.
California’s elderly parole law allows inmates who are 60 years or older and have served at least 25 years of a life sentence to petition for parole. However, there is active legislative effort to exclude convicted violent sex offenders from eligibility under this law. Bills such as Senate Bill 286 and Assembly Bill 47 are sponsored by officials like District Attorney Summer Stefen to prevent violent sex offenders from qualifying for early or elderly parole. These proposals are in various stages of consideration and represent the state’s attempt to close loopholes that might allow convicted sex offenders to apply for elderly parole.
It is important to note that the removal or termination from the sex offender registry for convicted offenders like Reyna is governed separately by offense tiers and criminal history. The current push is to tighten parole eligibility to exclude violent sex offenders given public and political concerns about early release.
However, no direct information about Reyna’s case, status, or parole eligibility can be confirmed from the current data. To obtain more details about Reyna's case or parole eligibility, one may need to consult court records, parole board files, or news sources focused on his case.
