The California Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General's own press release, issued 8 June 2022, on the sentencing of Naason Joaquin Garcia, La Luz del Mundo's third hereditary leader, to sixteen years and eight months in prison following his guilty plea to two counts of forcible oral copulation involving minors and one count of a lewd act upon a child. As the prosecuting office's own statement on a conviction and sentence it itself secured, it is authoritative for what was charged, pleaded and sentenced.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Tier 1: the prosecuting state agency's own official statement of a conviction and sentence it itself secured, reporting an adjudicated guilty plea and imposed sentence on the public criminal-court record, not a charge awaiting trial. NotesTier 1: the prosecuting state agency's own official statement of a conviction and sentence it secured, a matter of public criminal-court record; not an independent investigation, but not an allegation either, since it reports an adjudicated guilty plea and imposed sentence rather than a charge awaiting trial.
