Yeah, seems so.....
Donny Pauling Jr. pleaded no contest Thursday to four felony sex charges involving two minors, a plea deal that will send him to state prison for six years.
The plea marked the end to a dizzying saga of sex crime charges that also implicated the former commander of the Sutter County Jail.
Pauling, 41, acting as his own attorney, admitted to oral copulation and having sexual intercourse with a victim 14 years old in 2012, continuing into 2014. He also admitted to lewd or lascivious behavior with a girl related to former Sutter County sheriff's Capt. Lewis McElfresh, "motivated by an unnatural or abnormal interest in children," according to the plea.
The facts of the plea also stated McElfresh masturbated while watching Pauling commit sex acts with that girl, who was then 16 years old.
Furthermore, Pauling pleaded to a misdemeanor charge of massaging a third victim's genitals in early 2014. That victim was 16 years old at the time.
