According to the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office, 38-year-old Edgar Zuniga and his family were visiting the victim’s home when the alleged assault took place.
The DA’s office said Zuniga went into the girls bedroom, apparently looking for his five year old son, but ended up touching the 13-year-old girl.
The incident happened in May 2016.
The teen girl reported the touching immediately to her family and faced Zuniga in court during the trials.
Zuniga was sentenced to 364 days in jail and 6 years probation.
