Fake doctor gets 23 years for sex assault on 9-year-old Colorado girl

(Reuters) - A Colorado man convicted of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old Vietnamese girl while posing as an immigration facility doctor to gain access to her family's home was sentenced on Wednesday to 23 years to life in prison, prosecutors said.

Kenneth Dean Lee, 58, was convicted in August of sexual assault on a child, kidnapping, false imprisonment, burglary, criminal impersonation and invasion of privacy charges, the Arapahoe County District Attorney's Office said in a statement.

Prosecutors said Lee repeatedly telephoned the Denver-area home of the victim's family, who are legal Vietnamese immigrants, between August and October 2010 claiming to be an immigration facility doctor who needed to examine the girl.

Lee showed up unannounced at the family home in mid-October 2010 to perform what he said was a check-up on the girl. He then sexually assaulted her in a bedroom and fled before family members realized what had happened.

using fraud to gain entry into someone's home suggests this was very premeditated and he may have stalked the girl first.

this was a well planned assault on the girl and her family. He ruined this child's life and should spend his life in jail.

when a rapist time is up many are sent to a mental health facility until they are no longer a threat to society or dead and no longer a threat to society.

I agree with them on one point. I wouldn't keep a person in effect imprisoned for life if it was a non violent offense. Not looking at kiddie porn though that kind of offender is always dangerous as well.
