A 53 YEAR-OLD BOULDER CREEK MAN WAS SENTENCED THIS MORNING. THAT AFTER RONALD McDOUGAL PLEADED GUILTY TO SEXUALLY ABUSING A FEMALE TEENAGER HE KNEW. BASED ON CURRENT LAWS, McDOUGAL WILL HAVE TO SERVE AT LEAST 15 YEARS (OF HIS NEARLY 18-YEAR SENTENCE), BEFORE HE IS ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE.
McDOUGAL’S WIFE FACES A SENTENCE OF UP TO 3 YEARS IN PRISON WHEN SHE RETURNS TO COURT NEXT MONTH. THAT’S BECAUSE SHE FAILED TO REMOVE THE CHILD FROM AN ABUSIVE SITUATION.
