Orange County Man Facing 85 Years to Life on Child-Molestation Charges

Mandak Griffin, an Orange County bicycle motocross coach, is facing multiple felony child molestation charges, including sodomy on a child younger than 10 and using a minor for the production of obscene material.

In addition to exchanging thousands of child pornography images over the internet, Griffin molested three boys, ages 7 to 9, after luring them to his home repeatedly with swimming parties and a trip to a monster truck rally. Griffin had gained access to the children by befriending their relatives.

Griffin has been charged with one felony count each of sodomy with a child under 10, one felony count of oral copulation of a child under 10, one felony count of possession and control of child pornography, and one felony count of using a minor for production of obscene matter. Griffin also faces sentencing enhancement allegations for sexual assault of multiple victims and substantial sexual conduct with a child for the assault alleged against one of the boys.

If convicted, Griffin faces a maximum sentence of 85 years to life in state prison.
