Man convicted on sodomy, molestation charges

Rodolfo Rene Estrada, 55, was sentenced April 15 to life in prison on charges of aggravated sodomy and aggravated child molestation. The charges stemmed from a June 2009 incident involving a six-year-old female. The sentence requires a mandatory term of twenty-five years to be served in confinement. Additionally, Estrada was sentenced to twenty years for cruelty to children. That sentence will be served concurrently to the sentence for aggravated sodomy and aggravated child molestation.

The trial was prosecuted by senior assistant district attorney Mary Beth Forwood, of the District Attorney’s Office Special Victims Unit. Superior Court judge Joseph Booth presided over the two-day trial.
