A man (my comment: illegal alien previously deported) who molested a 7-year-old girl and raped a pregnant woman was sentenced today to 180 years in prison.

Jonathan Castillo, 28, pleaded guilty to both assault cases in Marion Superior Court. He said he prayed to God for forgiveness and didn't want to put his victims through the pain of a trial.

Deputy prosecutor Anne Harrigan called Castillo a monster who didn't deserve to see the light of day again.

In January, a 21-year-old woman who was five months pregnant woke to Castillo assaulting her in her bed in an apartment complex on Indianapolis' Far Southside where both lived. The woman's 2-year-old son was in the room and saw part of the rape, she testified during today's hearing.

Before police connected Castillo to that attack, he assaulted the 7-year-old girl in May in another neighboring apartment. He wore a mask, climbed up to the family's balcony, slipped into the apartment and snatched the girl from her bed before molesting her in his own apartment.
Judge Patricia Gifford took prosecutors' recommendation for a stiff sentence and said Castillo's remorse didn't outweigh significant aggravators. Castillo had pleaded guilty without an agreement, making the maximum sentence 222 years.

"We can't forgive him," the 7-year-old girl's father told the judge earlier, speaking through a Spanish interpreter. His daughter spent two hours in surgery and three days in the hospital to repair injuries she sustained.
"If God can forgive him, then that is OK. But he should not be in this world harming children."

Prosecutors dismissed a third case accusing Castillo of domestic battery against his girlfriend. The Star does not generally identify the victims of sexual assault, so the girl's father is not being named to protect her identity.

Gifford said one aggravator was that Castillo was deported to Honduras last year after several convictions in Marion County, then returned illegally to the United States.
