CLEVELAND, Ohio — The former pastor of a small West Side church was sentenced Thursday to spend the rest of his life in prison after a jury found him guilty of sexually abusing young girls in his congregation.
Ubaldo Ocasio’s first chance at parole will be after 128 years in prison, in the year 2142.
Cuyahoga County Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold handed down the sentence after a jury found Ocasio, 52, guilty on one count of rape, six counts of gross sexual imposition, six counts of kidnapping, two counts of sexual battery and four counts of endangering children.
The jury also found Ocasio to be a sexually violent predator.
