A MAN convicted of sexually abusing a minor has entered a plea of nolo contendere, or no contest, to criminal mischief and was sentenced to 61 days of imprisonment.
But Juan Borja Camacho, 58, is already serving a 30-year jail sentence for two counts of sexual abuse of a minor in the first degree, and will not serve the additional 61-day jail sentence.
Superior Court Associate Judge Ramona V. Manglona gave him credit for 61 days of time already served from April 3, 2006 and from April 7, 2006 through June 6, 2006.
Manglona said Camacho will not be placed on probation but will be subject to contempt of court proceedings if he fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the plea agreement and the terms of the sentence and commitment order.
Camacho was ordered to pay a restitution fee to victim Hong Yong Tiao in the amount not to exceed $11,721.
The exact amount of the restitution will be determined at a hearing set for May 16 at 9 a.m.
Camacho was ordered to pay a court assessment fee of $100 and was ordered to stay away from the victim and his gift shop.
H was ordered to write a letter of apology to the victim and to obey all CNMI and federal laws.
The court ordered that the cash bail of $500 posted by Camacho on April 4, 2006 be exonerated — $100 wll be applied to the court assessment fee and the remaining $400 will be returned to the defendant.
Camacho appeared for a change of plea hearing on Monday and was represented by attorney Brien Sers Nicholas.
After Camacho entered his plea, the government represented by Assistant Attorney General Joseph Taijeron moved to dismiss with prejudice the other charges.
Camacho was remanded to the custody of the Department of Corrections.
He was charged for abusing a minor in 2004. The jury found him guilty of sexual abuse of a minor in the first degree but acquitted him of the kidnapping charges on Sept. 21, 2006.
On April 3, 2006, while out on bail, Camacho committed the offense of burglary, criminal mischief, disturbing the peace and contempt of court, for damaging the gift shop of a tenant.
Camacho entered the gift shop and cut the shop’s power, water and telephone lines when the victim refused to give him money. Camacho also threw merchandise on the street.
He violated the terms and condition of his bail when he committed another crime.
