43-year-old Bobby Anthony Garcia has been sentenced to 29 years in prison along with a lifetime of intensive probation.

Garcia was arrested over five years ago and charged with sexual misconduct involving a minor.

Originally, he faced 47 charges of sexual misconduct but he took a plea deal.

Garcia pled guilty to three counts which are:
