Prosecutors says it was a relationship with the child's family, that gave Lopez-Martinez access to the child, who he began sexually assaulting her when she was 8. It continued for over the next year, until the child disclosed the abuse to her mother when she was 9.

The child was forensically interviewed, where she disclosed details about the sexual abuse. By law, a sentence for continuous sexual abuse of a child is not eligible for parole.
