Xeuy Sikeo - Repeat Sex Offender - 3 Strikes

A twice-convicted sex offender accused of impregnating an 11-year-old girl is facing 99 years in prison if convicted at his trial, which began Monday, according to the Anchorage district attorney's office. Xeuy Sikeo, 32, is charged with first-degree sexual abuse of a minor and second-degree sexual assault. He is accused of impregnating the girl last year. She was asleep in her bed when Sikeo allegedly slipped into her room and molested her, according to the charges against him.

Final jurors were added and opening statements finished at the courthouse Monday, according to the district attorney's office. Prosecutors planned to wrap up their case today.

Sikeo has two convictions for sexual abuse of a minor, in 2001 and 2002, court records indicate.

If convicted, Sikeo will get a mandatory 99 years in prison under new sentencing guidelines that deliver tougher penalties to three-time offenders. He would be the first defendant sentenced under the new guidelines, according to the district attorney's office.
