Overview

  • Judge Satnam Rattu imposed the sentence Friday after Kim Kenneth Wilson’s Feb. 25 guilty plea to nine counts of lewd acts on children.
  • Authorities say Wilson founded a student media club with a private, windowless room that he used to isolate victims and film abuse.
  • Investigators reported finding child-sized sex toys and a large cache of VHS tapes, DVDs, and digital devices with videos of assaults.
  • Prosecutors say most crimes occurred on campus in the broadcast room, with additional assaults at Wilson’s home during events.
  • Under California’s elder parole rules, Wilson could seek a hearing after 20 years, roughly 17 with credits, as civil suits proceed including a recent $6 million settlement.
