An Anderson man pleaded guilty and was sentenced today to 35 years, eight months in state prison for molesting a young girl over a prolonged period of time.
Justin Michael Langston, 33, was arrested in March at his Riverland Drive trailer park by Shasta County sheriff’s investigators serving search and arrest warrants.
Shasta County Deputy District Attorney Ben Hanna said Langston admitted to seven counts of forcible lewd and lascivious acts with a minor, child molestation and providing marijuana to a minor.
He must serve 85 percent — or around 30 years — of his sentence before being eligible for parole, Hanna said.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Lisa Shearman said after his arrest, that Langston confessed to sexually abusing a girl over a course of six to eight years.
The alleged victim contacted sheriff’s investigators in February, Shearman said.
Shearman declined to provide the girl’s age, saying it could possibly be used to identify her.
Langston was originally held on 44 counts, including aggravated sexual assault of a child, lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, using a minor to sell marijuana and providing pornography to a minor.
