California’s man’s 378-year-old prison sentence turned

A judge turned a California’s 378-year-old judgment for sexual abuse on Friday, May 23.

According to the Superior Court of California, Yolo County Court Records was released by People, Ajay Dev, 58, who had 76 beliefs, Friday 23 May on his own recognition (OR). A conference for setting up test settings and movement has been scheduled for Friday 13 June.

San Francisco Chronicle Reported that the district lawyer’s office will decide whether to try again.

The verdict came down after Judge Janene Berronio said that there was essential evidence that Dev’s accuser, his adopted daughter Sapna Dev, had manufactured the charges of “punishing him and improving her prospects to remain in the United States,” per outlet.

“I have read the judicial material for seven years and believe there is a comprehensive probability that he did not do this. I do not think $ 60,000 is reasonable … I believe or are reasonable,” said Berronio, Per Davisvanguard.org.

Sapna was adopted from Nepal in 1998 when she was 15. Dev, an immigrant from Nepal, visited the country with his wife. According to San Francisco Chronicle, With reference to Berronio’s decision, in early 2004, Sapna boyfriend broke up with her, and she claimed it was Dev’s fault.

She then went on to tell the police that Dev “had sex with her two or three times a week for three or four years until she moved out of her home”, according to the outlet.

However, four witnesses testified during a new hearing that Sapna stated that the charges were lies or motivated by her anger against him, according to the judge.

One of the witnesses who Berronio classified as “credible” said Sapna said she was accusing her adopted father because she “was determined to return to the United States and needed to use the criminal charges to do so.”

According to San Francisco ChronicleBerronio also noted that there was evidence that showed that Sapna between 1999 and 2004 gave Dev and his wife cards and sent them texts and e -mail messages “that expressed her affection and love and a desire to continue to be part of their lives.”

Berronio said that if lawyers had heard this evidence, “the result of this case could have and would probably have been different.”

Under the Court, Dev’s lawyer, Jennifer Mouzis, emphasized that Dev had no previous criminal register before the case and had maintained a pure disciplinary record during his 16 years in prison, according to Davisvanguard.org.
