A: Frederick Deshawn Dew was sentenced to 15-years-to-life in prison, for
molesting a 13-year-old boy in a library in Meadowview, according to
Sacramento Superior Court records.
Here is some of what The Bee reported a day after his sentencing:
In a Sacramento County courtroom teeming with parishioners, a south
Sacramento pastor was ordered to serve up to a life sentence in prison for
molesting a 13-year-old boy at a Meadowview library in the spring.
Frederick Deshawn Dew was sentenced to 15 years to life for the aggravated
sexual assault of the child. Dew was also sentenced to an additional seven
years on charges of molesting the child.
Superior Court Judge Michael P. Kenny handed down the sentence after a
morning hearing during which Dew addressed the court with his church
supporters seated behind him.
The founder and pastor of Praise Tabernacle church on 44th Street expressed
sympathy for the victim and his family, but maintained that he was innocent
of any crime.
Shortly after his arrest earlier this year, Dew told The Bee that he didn't
notice the boy at the library that day and believed that God would help
uncover the truth.
Jurors convicted Dew on all four felony counts following a trial in which
the child testified that Dew, a stranger, had molested him in the book aisle
and in the men's restroom at the Martin Luther King Jr. Library on 24th
Street.
The victim managed to escape and alerted a library security guard, who then
tried to stop Dew from leaving.
Security officers noted the license plate on Dew's Mercedes as he sped away
and returned to his church. He was arrested the next day.
In court, Deputy District Attorney Allison Dunham noted Dew's criminal
history from Southern California, which includes battery and fraud -- a
history that Dew asked the judge to look past.
Typical Bush supporter.
