Monrovia man sentenced to 17 years for child molestations

PASADENA - A judge sentenced a Monrovia man to 17 years in prison for molesting teenage girls he met on the Internet.
Gregory Scott Serrano, 34, received the sentence from Pasadena Superior Court Judge Janice Croft July 9 after pleading guilty May 28 to 20 felony counts of child molestation involving three girls ages 14 to 17, Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office Spokeswoman Jane Robison said.
While the sentencing concludes Serrano's trial in the Los Angeles County judicial system, he still faces 23 felony federal charges, including using the Internet to entice minors, producing and possessing child pornography and trying to destroy evidence, U.S. Attorney's officials said.
Monrovia Chief of Police Roger Johnson said he was pleased with the outcome of the case.
"We're always very happy here when a dangerous individual like Serrano is put away for a very long time," he said.
