LANCASTER \u2013 A 38-year-old Lancaster man was sentenced Monday to 110 years and eight months to life in state prison for sexually assaulting three Antelope Valley girls ages 7, 8 and 11, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.<\/p>\n

Robert Carl Ham <\/strong>also must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and pay restitution in the amount of $3,288 to one of his three victims, according to Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami.<\/p>\n

Ham was convicted by jury on Aug. 14 of multiple felony sex crimes, including six counts of lewd act upon a child and one count each of continuous sexual abuse, forcible lewd act upon a child, forcible rape of child victim under 14 years and furnishing marijuana to minors under 14.<\/p>\n

The local jury also found true eight special allegations of multiple victims and one special allegation of rape of a child under 14 years old, the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n

Ham\u2019s crimes occurred in Lancaster and Palmdale, between 2007 and 2012.<\/p>\n

He moved in with a single mother in Lancaster in 2007 and repeatedly sexually abused the woman\u2019s two daughters, who were 7 and 11 years old when the abuse began. In 2012, Ham moved in with another single mother in Palmdale and sexually abused that woman\u2019s 8-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n

Ham also contacted numerous other underage females through Facebook and text messages to sell them marijuana, according to court testimony.<\/p>\n

All three of Ham\u2019s victims testified during his trial, which ran from Aug. 3 to Aug. 12. The jury deliberated for about two days before convicting Ham on all charges.<\/p>\n

Two of the victims and their mothers read victim impact statements at the sentencing hearing Monday. The prosecutor, Jon Hatami, read a victim impact statement from the third victim.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Kathleen Blanchard of the Antelope Valley Branch sentenced Ham following victim impact statements.<\/p>\n
