California v. Namphonh
Annotate this CaseDefendant Danny Namphonh was convicted by jury of continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14. The victim was his half-sister. Defendant was sentenced to serve 12 years in prison, and was subject to a 20- year six-month parole period following his incarceration. The trial court also ordered defendant to pay restitution and various fines associated with his prosecution and conviction. Defendant raised only one contention on appeal: that the trial court abused its discretion in ordering him to pay for the victim’s medical examination, because there was no evidence he is able to pay. After review, the Court of Appeal concluded the trial court properly exercised its discretion in determining defendant’s ability to pay, and affirmed the judgment.
