Jose Azucena, 64, was a close family friend of the five girls who were victimized between November 2014 and October 2016.

He was charged with sexual assault and first-degree kidnapping. He groped, kissed and exposed himself to the girls, ages 7 to 9.

He was convicted of 25 felonies and five gross misdemeanors.
Azucena had been deported twice and served 18 years in prison in the U.S. for manslaughter before this case.
Judge Richard Scotti sentenced him to life in prison.
