The crime spanned decades and the victims were members of Giron’s family or extended family.

There was no physical evidence for prosecutors to present at trial. Most of the victims came out long after what investigators called “contact evidence” was collected. Instead, the case rested on eyewitness testimony, primarily that of Giron’s victims.

Their testimonies had an impact – the girls lived with or spent summers at Jiron’s house. I told the jury about it.

Despite the defense’s attempts to classify some of the incidents as family rumors, the older girl’s story also influenced younger children who were in and around the Giron home. Regardless, the prosecutor won the case.

A jury found the former Donnie Park resident guilty on all counts.

Giron, who appeared before Judge Ted Reed on Friday, was committed to custody at the Arizona Department of Corrections.

Giron was sentenced to life imprisonment with no possibility of release for at least 35 years for each count of sexual conduct with a minor. For each of his child molestation cases, Giron was ordered to serve 17 years in prison. These judgments were also serial. For the obscene exposure, Jiron was sentenced to additional prison terms.
