Three Simi Valley Teens Sentenced in Regal Cinema Hate-Crime Assault

The juveniles received multi-month detention with electronic monitoring and must complete restorative and anti-bias programs.

Overview

  • One 16-year-old was sentenced Nov. 19 to 270 days, including 240 days in a locked juvenile facility and 30 days on electronic monitoring.
  • Two other teens, ages 17 and 16, were sentenced Nov. 13 to 240 days each, with 210 days in custody and 30 days on electronic monitoring.
  • The felony counts are assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury with a hate-crime special allegation, and prosecutors sought both detention and rehabilitative consequences.
  • All three must complete the Harm to Healing Restorative Justice Program and an Anti-Defamation League program.
  • Two additional teens not facing hate-crime allegations have continued arraignments set for Nov. 21 and Dec. 3, as the case also draws attention for involving a police officer’s son who prompted the officer’s leave.
