December 20, 2013

A 51-year old Escambia County has sentenced to more than three decades in prison for molesting a child

Ricky Paul Lombardi was convicted by Escambia County Jury of lewd or lascivious molestation of a victim less than 12. He was sentenced Thursday to 35 years is state prison to be followed by a lifetime of probation. He was also designated as a sexual predator.

The charges stemmed from a 10-year-old victim who awoke on the couch with the  defendant’s hand in their pants. The victim immediately ran into their mother’s room, woke her up and told her. The defendant was living in the house as a friend and tenant,  but has no relation to the victim. The mother reported the incident the next morning. The child gave consistent disclosure to law enforcement and to the Child Protection Team.

The victim’s clothing was collected. After testing, the defendant’s DNA was located inside the child’s underwear.

Lombardi had a prior conviction  for lewd and lascivious molestation in 1993.
