On Friday, Christopher Stefanik, the former coach who pleaded guilty in March to 10 counts related to child sexual abuse, was sentenced to 23 years in prison. (The offenses were second-degree child rape, second-degree child molestation, sexual exploitation of a minor, and possessing child pornography.) King County Superior Court Judge Nicole MacInnes sentenced him to the maximum time allowed because of the victims' testimony at the sentencing hearing. The prosecution -- including deputy prosecutor Scott O'Toole (also a Trial Ad instructor) -- had recommended 17 1/2 years. Ex-coach gets 23 years for sex abuse, Seattle Times, June 3, 2006.
