LONG BEACH -- A 24-year-old Whittier man found sneaking into the bed of 10-year-old Signal Hill girl pleaded no contest to a single count of trespassing Thursday and was sentenced to 170 days in county jail.
Sergio Osuna was arrested by Signal Hill Police at a home in the 1900 block of Cherry Avenue about 2:20 a.m. June 26.
He was clad only in boxers and stank of alcohol when the girl's father found him, police said.
"I wake up and I see the guy close to my daughter," said the dad, who the Press-Telegram has declined to identify because of the daughter's young age.
"I see the guy only in boxers, close to my daughter and say 'What the hell?'"
A neighbor helped the dad hold Osuna until police arrived.
Signal Hill Police Department spokeswoman Crista Martinez said Osuna reached through an open window to open the front door.
Martinez also said Osuna had no adult criminal record and is not a registered sex offender.
A search of court records found a person with the same name, date of birth and description who was arrested in May and released that same month for a juvenile probation violation.
Osuna on Thursday pleaded no contest to one count of trespassing at the Long Beach Superior Court Thursday morning,  considered the same as a guilty plea in criminal court. He was originally charged with two misdemeanor counts, one for trespassing and a count for damaging a prison or jail.
