A man convicted of lewdness with a child has drawn a life sentence. 30 year old Eric Kortwright of Madera California was also sentenced to an 8 to 20 year term for attempted sexual assault on a child. The case against Kortright began in October 2017 when the Reno Police Department responded to a report of a sexual assault of a 13 year old girl who had disclosed that she had been victimized by the defendant on several occasions during the year. Kortright was an acquaintance of the victim’s family and had moved to Southern California around the time the abuse was discovered.
