Former Arizona State Senator Otoniel “Tony” Navarrete Sentenced To A Mere 1 Year After Being Found Guilty Of Sexually Abusing Minor Boy (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Former Arizona State Senator Otoniel “Tony” Navarrete was sentenced to a mere 1 year in prison after he was found guilty of sexually abusing a 12-13-year-old boy who had lived with him for several years.  Keep in mind that this sentencing was the result of a second trial.  The first trial involved two victims with six felony accounts, which the jury abandoned because they could not agree on a verdict.

AZ Family reports:

A former Democratic Arizona state senator has been sentenced to one year for sexually abusing a child.

Sen. Otoniel “Tony” Navarrete was sentenced on Friday after a jury delivered a split verdict in February in his child molestation case.

During sentencing, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge ordered one year in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release for his single count of child sex crime. He is also now required to register as a sex offender.

Earlier this year, a jury deemed Navarrete not guilty on one count of molestation of a child and sexual conduct with a minor but declared Navarrete guilty on a separate charge of sexual conduct with a minor.

mistrial was declared in Oct. 2023, when jurors at the time were split on a decision about the allegations against Navarrete. The former Democratic politician was arrested in 2019 and indicted in 2021 on seven child sex crime charges.

Court documents at the time stated Navarrete sexually touched the victim multiple times over a few years. Navarrete reportedly apologized to the victim and regretted his actions in a phone call recorded by police.

In that call, he reportedly said he “wasn’t well” when the abuse happened. He resigned less than a week after his arrest, during which he released a statement saying he “adamantly denied all allegations” and would prove his innocence. Ever since, Navarrete denied the allegations.

During sentencing, his attorney announced they would file a notice of appeal to overturn his conviction.

FOX 10 added:

Navarrete resigned after the allegations came to light, and then-State Rep. Raquel Terán was selected as his replacement. Terán later resigned from the seat in order to run for the congressional seat currently held by Ruben Gallego. Gallego is running for the Arizona Senate seat currently held by Democrat-turned-Independent Kyrsten Sinema.

Once again, people like this should not be given a prison sentence, but a death sentence.  That would be real justice!
