The Contra Costa Times reported today:
A 19-year-old Danville man was sentenced Tuesday to six years in prison for the February rape of a 14-year-old girl in his van at the Walnut Creek BART station.
The sentence is twice as long as what Sam Nesis would have received under a plea deal that was offered by the district attorney’s office last month. Judge Claire Maier rejected that deal earlier after an impassioned plea for justice by the now-15-year-old victim prompted her to re-examine the evidence against Nesis.
