This sounds somewhat similar to a situation I know of:
A 20 year old woman has just come forward that she had been
> sexually molested by her grandmother's husband since the time
> she was about 8 maybe younger. She never spoke up for fear of breaking up the family and the emotional upheavel she knew it would create. She thinks the last time was
> about when she was 15. Of course she is in counseling,
> but what are her legal options if she chooses to press charges.
> Can she? This is in the state of New York. I would appreciate knowing her legal rights and what would be the procedure for such.

Brenda Martinez:
Congratulations. I know no one wins in these type of cases -- I too have suffered such, but I take my hat off to you for your courage and conviction. My daughter is in great pain and I am in great termoil for what my husband of 12 years did to her... He is facing 14 counts of aggravated sexual assult (digits and tongue), 27 counts of sexual molestation and 3 counts of bribing a witness not to procecute (44 total counts) -- How many years do you think he would be facing?
Brian Sedillo will be going before Judge McDonald today, 06/18/01 at 1:00pm at the Rio Rancho/Sandoval County 13th Judicial Court to face these charges -- Will you be present to cover this story?

Man Indicted in Rape of Minor
By Rebecca Szymanski
Journal Staff Writer
The CEO of an Albuquerque mortgage company and former resident of Rio Rancho has been charged with raping a 13-year-old girl repeatedly over a two-year period.
Brian Sedillo, 32, was indicted in Sandoval County last week on 14 counts of rape and 27 counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor.
The criminal sexual contact is alleged to have begun when the girl was 10 years old and continued until she was 15.
Sedillo also is accused in the indictment with three counts of bribing a witness in the case.
Rio Rancho police said Sedillo is CEO of Exclusive 1 Mortgage and Investments Inc., 2125 Louisiana Blvd. Sedillo is registered with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission as president of the company whose principal address is in Rio Rancho.
"I don't care to make any comment concerning the claims right now," said Sedillo's attorney, Whitney Johnson.
The assaults allegedly began in April 1996 when the girl was 10, according to the arrest warrant affidavit, and continued until September 2000 when she was 15.
The girl told police the alleged rapes and other sexual abuse took place at Sedillo's residence and occurred two to three times a week in the two years before police were contacted, the affidavit says.
Sedillo later offered to turn over all his financial and business matters to a potential witness if the girl would agree not to talk about what had taken place, the affidavit says. The potential witness agreed to the offer for a short time, according to the affidavit.
Sedillo also offered to buy another potential witness a house, pay her moving expenses and give her a salary, although she refused the offer, the affidavit says.
An investigation into the matter began in September 2000 but was later dropped after Sedillo coaxed the girl into recanting her story, the affidavit says.
Police reopened the investigation in January at the request of one of the potential witnesses.
David Waymire, assistant district attorney in Sandoval County, said Sedillo posted bond. He is currently living in Belen, according to the affidavit.
Sedillo is expected to be arraigned before District Judge Louis P. McDonald later in the month, Waymire said.
Department of Public Safety spokesman Sgt. John Francis said Sedillo could face 171 years in prison if convicted on the charges.
