Man Receives 6 Years for Molesting Teen

District Attorney Jan Scully announced recently that the Honorable Judge Helena Gweon sentenced Mark L'Ilith to 6 years and 4 months in prison. On August 27, L'Ilith was convicted by jury of six counts of child molest.

L'Ilith frequently visited the Carmichael Library at 5605 Marconi Avenue. On two different dates in October 2011, he engaged in sexual conduct with the victim, a 14-year-old boy, in the library handicap bathroom stall during business hours. The victim did not know L'Ilith. He was at the library doing homework and met L'Ilith by chance in the bathroom.

Sacramento County sheriff's detectives were able to identify L'Ilith and arrested him in December.

They obtained a search warrant for L'Ilith's email account, which uncovered numerous emails between L'Ilith and strangers where he suggested meeting at the library to engage in sex acts in the bathroom.
