'Beast' gets 35 years
The West New York man who has pleaded guilty to raping his teenage daughter and ordering her to kill the two babies she had as a result was sentenced to 35 years in prison, the maximum penalty allowable under a plea deal he reached with prosecutors.
Jose Ventura, 46, was sentenced today by state Superior Court Judge Kevin Callahan in Jersey City. Under law, he won't be eligible for parole until he serves at least 85 percent of his term, which is 29 years, 9 months and 13 days.
"The cruel nature and circumstances of what you did, the heinous and cruel acts that you committed against your own flesh and blood, calls out for the highest possible sentence that the law allows me," Callahan said.
And after Ventura gets out of prison -- assuming he's still alive at age 75 -- he will likely be deported to his native El Salvador.
"I can't imagine that not happening," said his public defender, Carl Eroege.
Ventura pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter, aggravated assault and two counts of aggravated sexual assault.
The charges against Ventura stem from the sexual abuse he committed against his daughter, Lucila Ventura, now 18, officials said.
Lucila Ventura has pleaded guilty to reckless manslaughter and aggravated assault and has been cooperating with authorities in the prosecution of her father, said Hudson County Assistant prosecutor Michael D'Andrea. She will be sentenced May 10.
