Kevin Jonas Rojano-Nieto, 20, was found guilty on December 3 of raping a 3 year old girl atrnhis home in June.  Superior Court Judge M. Marc Kelly, has reduced his mandatory 25 yearrnsentence down to only 10, saying anything longer would be 'cruel and unusual punishment.'  Thernjudge told an Orange County jury that Rojano-Nieto 'did not intend to harm' the girl.  Sayingrnthat he was sure that although Rojano-Nieto sodomized the girl and covered her mouth so sherncouldn’t scream out, 'there was no violence or callous disregard for the victim’srnwell-being.'  The judge also said Rojano-Nieto, 'inexplicably became sexually aroused but didrnnot appear to consciously intend to harm the victim.'  According to the court news service,rnRojano-Nieto said he became aroused by the girl and pulled her pants down to rape her during thernsickening attack.  While this was going on, he could apparently hear her mother calling outrnfor her, so he covered her mouth so she couldn’t scream back.  The girl told her motherrnafter the assault that she was in pain and her mother called the police who found injuriesrnconsistent with rape.  'Although serious and despicable, this does not compare to a situationrnwhere a pedophilic child predator preys on an innocent child,' Judge Kelly said. rn
