California – Manny Sentenced To Over 700 Years For SAing And Filming Young Boys.
Matthew Antonio Zakrzewski was convicted Oct. 3 of 34 felony sex charges related to 17 victims in crimes that prosecutors said took place from 2014 through 2019.
According to court records, the victims were aged 2 to 14 and the former child care service provider has been sentenced to 707 years and eight months to life in prison for his crimes.
Jurors in the trial also heard evidence relating to two other boys, including one who was allegedly molested, but the defendant was not charged with attacking those alleged victims, Deputy District Attorney Juliet Oliver said.
In court Friday, the defendant said he had “a big speech for this moment” that was two pages long, but he said he preferred to “speak from the heart.”
“I meditated over your point of view, I paid close attention through the trial, and I paid close attention to your statements today,” Zakrzewski said of the comments from the families of the victims. “It brings me a lot of pain. … I prided myself on bringing smiles to your children.”
He said the moments he shared with his clients were sincere.
“I know we had some gloomy weather this week,” he said. “The sun will shine and it will break through the clouds.
That’s what I want for you. I wish you the best. That’s what you deserve and more.”
Multiple parents told Orange County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Menninger how the defendant’s crimes affected them.
One victim offered the defendant forgiveness, while another implored him to seek redemption in religion because “It’s never too late to turn to God.”
