The little girl was only 4 when he started molesting her.

A Lisle man was sentenced to 40 years in prison for molesting his girlfriend’s young daughter for five years.
Filiberto Garfias-Fernandez, 28, had pleaded guilty in August to two counts of the predatory criminal sexual assault of a child. He was sentenced Wednesday.
Garfias-Fernandez molested his girlfriend’s daughter on “numerous occasions,” according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, starting in October 2009 when she was 4 years old. He committed the sexual assaults at the child’s home while her mother was at work.
