Man Gets 54 Years for Molesting Child
A former aerospace worker from Midway City was sentenced Friday to 54 years in prison after pleading guilty in Orange County Superior Court to 41 counts of child molestation, including videotaped sexual acts with a 10-year-old neighbor.
Daniel Raymond Dieatrick, 30, was known in his neighborhood for always giving children toys and treats. Residents of the area where he lived said Dieatrick gave Barbie dolls, ninja turtles, video games and other expensive gifts to young children who gathered in his apartment to play Nintendo.
Neither Dieatrick’s attorney, nor the deputy district attorney who prosecuted the case, could be reached for comment late Friday.
