Carlton Murray Harris Jr. was charged with one count of a lewd act upon a child under 14 and two counts of lewd acts upon a child under age 14 to 15, according to Pamela Johnson, public information officer with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. Harris was sentenced to nine years and four months in state prison. The victims were on Harris' team in the Puente Hills-Rowland Heights Little League.
Harris, 48, pleaded no contest to the charges in October. A no contest plea is the same as a guilty plea. He must also register for life as a sex offender. The acts occurred between 2014 and 2017 at Harris' home with victims ranging from 11 to 15 years old, Johnson said. |
