Former Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Giancarlo Scotti had pleaded no contest to sexually assaulting six inmates at the county's women's lockup.
her in jail learned he would only serve a two-year prison sentence, she was outraged.
Scotti, 33, was accused of unlawful sex with six female inmates and pleaded no contest this month to eight counts of sexual activity with a detainee in a detention facility, six of them felonies. He entered an open plea, meaning he hadn’t worked out a deal with prosecutors.Prosecutors requested a three-year sentence, while his defense attorney, Anthony Falangetti, requested no jail time. Falangetti said the sexual acts were consensual.
The charges stem from encounters in August and September 2017, when Scotti ordered two cellmates to perform oral sex on him, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. He later took the women to a shower area where he had sex with both of them.In another incident, Scotti had a female inmate perform oral sex on him while she was in her cell. The six women ranged in age from 24 to 42.
“The court’s sentence today is another symptom of something we see all too often and is further evidence that there appears to be a parallel justice system in place; one for you and me, and one reserved for members of law enforcement,” he said. “For the court to intervene in a case such as this and undercut the D.A. is frustrating,” he said.
