Calif. Father Convicted of Incest, Whose Daughter Committed Suicide, out of Jail After Just 6 Months

EXCERPT:

PALOMBO: “This entire neighborhood out here tonight is on high alert after learning that that suspect, 41-year-old Stephen Chavez, was released this morning. Now, he will have to register as a sex offender, but he has five days to do so. So, so far at this point, we don't know exactly where he is. This happened more than a year ago. Makayla Settles, moved in with her father in this neighborhood to go to college. She's from the East Coast. Two days later, he admitted to having sex with her after plying her with alcohol. She wound up committing suicide and taking her life just a few months later. He did originally get one year behind bars when he could have gotten three. He only got one. Now, after less than six months, as you say, he is out tonight.”
