Orange County Music, Dance Teacher Pleads Guilty to Sexually Assaulting Teen
SANTA ANA, Calif.—A 40-year-old music and dance instructor pleaded guilty June 15 and was immediately sentenced to nine years behind bars for sexually assaulting a teenage girl in Orange.
Sonny Angel Cabugao Boloico of Aliso Viejo pleaded guilty to a count of sexual penetration of a child over 14 years old by foreign object and by force, five counts of lewd acts on a child 14 or 15 years old, all felonies, and a misdemeanor count of using an underage person for obscene matter, according to court records.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Andre De La Cruz sentenced Boloico to eight years in prison for the felonies and 364 days in jail for the misdemeanor. He was given credit for 456 days behind bars awaiting trial and ordered to register as a sex offender.
Boloico worked in after-school programs around the county since 2012, including in schools and churches in Laguna Niguel, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Tustin, and Orange, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
Boloico was arrested on Halloween in Orange.
He surreptitiously video-recorded the victim while she was nude, prosecutors said.
