Around 11 p.m. on Dec. 24, 2009, Gallegos took the girl into his home's kitchen, where he sodomized and/or raped and orally copulated her, according to an Orange County District Attorney's office statement that notes the man's wife walked in on the molestation.

Gallegos then ripped the telephone from the wall and
threatened his wife not to tell anyone about what happened. He then fled the home and stayed with a friend, while his wife called the Santa Ana Police Department. Gallegos was arrested
in the early morning hours of Christmas Day.

A subsequent police investigation revealed that between September
and December 2009, Gallegos sexually assaulted the 8-year-old in the same manner.

He was found guilty by a jury today of one felony count of sexual
intercourse or sodomy with a child, two felony counts of oral copulation
or sexual penetration with a child, and one felony count each of
digital penetration of a child under 10, lewd acts on a child under 14,
and dissuading a witness from reporting a crime.
