Inos said the defendant, also known as Peter Hong, will serve the first 30 days without parole.
Currently out on bail, Hong will report to the Department of Corrections on Aug. 26, 2011 to start serving his prison term.
He will pay a $250 fine for each count, or a total of $1,000, and a court assessment fee.
He will stay away from his victim and the victim’s family.
Attorney Joseph James Norita Camacho, who is Hong’s defense counsel, told Variety he will talk to his client regarding Hong’s plan to appeal the case.
Assistant Attorney General Peter B. Prestley prosecuted the case.
In a statement, Prestley said: “At the sentencing, I requested the defendant gets one year, all suspended except eight months. Defense counsel Joe Camacho requested a sentence of one day. The judge gave the defendant six months (six months for each of the four counts of disturbing the peace, running concurrently).”
Afterward, Prestley added, “I spoke with a family member of the victim who was satisfied and commended our office for our efforts in trying the case.
I was pleased with the sentence because I know the minor victim was put through a difficult ordeal, and the court is holding defendant accountable.”
After two days of bench trial, the court exonerated Hong of three counts of stalking in the second degree.
The prosecution moved for the dismissal of one count of disturbing the peace.
The victim earlier told police “that after all the drama that she had experienced for the past seven months,” she had realized that Peter Hong was stalking her and sending her text messages last year.
