SOLANO COUNTY, CA (MPG) – On March 18, in Department 2 before the Honorable Daniel J. Healy Presiding, Defendant Vinctonivish Lee was sentenced to seventy-five years-to-life plus sixty-nine years, four months in state prison. At the hearing the victim gave a courageous impact statement.

On October 21, 2021, in Department 2 of the Solano County Superior Court, before the Honorable Daniel J. Healy Presiding, the jury found Defendant Vinctonivish Lee, age 30, Guilty as charged. Specifically, the jury found the defendant Guilty of Sex with a Minor Ten Years or Younger, four counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Minor, Rape of a Minor Under 14, three counts of Forcible Rape, three counts of Forcible Oral Copulation, three counts of Forcible Lewd Acts, one count of Attempted Lewd Act, and one count of Furnishing Marijuana to a Minor over Fourteen.

Over a period of seven years from 2010 to 2017, Defendant, who was entrusted with the care of a young child, committed the unthinkable crimes against her while living in Contra Costa County and Solano County. As a young child, the victim was threatened with discipline if she reported the abuse. As the sexual abuse continued, the defendant would have the victim’s siblings go in their rooms and close the door while he sexually assaulted the victim. In December 2018, the victim’s mother found her child’s diary which had documented the abuse. The child came forward and courageously spoke to law enforcement and courageously testified at trial regarding the abuse she suffered from the age of eight years old to fifteen years old. Physical findings were also presented at trial that corroborated the sexual abuse. 

Retired Detective Terry Poyser of the Vallejo Police Department investigated the case. The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Barry Shapiro and assisted by Victim Advocate Shamar Lewis.
