A Colorado judge sentenced a man to over a century in prison for sexually assaulting two 5-year-old girls in a basement nearly three years ago, prosecutors said Monday in a press release.

James Pinker, 37, was convicted by a jury in June of four counts of sexual assault on a child with a pattern of abuse. Weld County District Court Judge Vincente Vigil on Aug. 30 sentenced the defendant to 112 years-to-life in the Colorado Department of Corrections. According to the 19th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, the two girls showed up to the Medical Center of the Rockies on Dec. 12, 2021, to report that they had been sexually assaulted at a Weld County home while they were visiting a family member.

The girls told detectives they were in the basement of the home playing a game called “Monsters” when Pinker came downstairs and suggested they play the “kissing” game.

“When asked what the ‘kissing’ game was, the victims said the defendant would put his mouth on their ‘privates’ and made them take their clothes off,” the press release stated.
