Prior to sentencing, Assistant District Attorney Alison Baker, read letters to the court that each of the victims had written. One victim wrote "I was very young when these events started happening, and I felt I had no way of stopping it. I can't change the past, so now I will live in the present and will continue to heal and get better every day." The second victim directed her letter to the Martinez and wrote, "You made me feel like I was worthless, but I am okay now. I am a strong young lady. You can't hurt me anymore."
