A Knights Landing man faces life in prison after being convicted of 14 counts of child molestation Friday, according to the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office.
Eduardo Castro, 58, was found guilty following a lengthy trial in Yolo Superior Court. The case involved crimes committed from the mid-1990s through 2019, involving four victims.
“It takes a lot of courage for victims of sexual abuse to come forward and disclose the awful crimes that often take place when other witnesses are not there to see it,” Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig said. “These verdicts validate the truth spoken by these victims and will ensure that, after all these years, justice will be served.”
Sentencing in the case is set for Dec. 2 before Judge David M. Reed, who presided over the trial. In addition to a life sentence, Castro will be required to register as a sex offender.
