In May, a jury found Cooper guilty of three felony counts of lewd act upon a child.

“I’m no longer the little girl you took advantage of with no voice or power,” the 28-year-old victim said in an impact statement. “I stand before you now a woman with her voice and her power. You no longer hold that power. I do. You did not take away who I am.”

“Children are the most vulnerable members of our community. Mr. Cooper abused his position of trust and caused incredible harm to helpless victims,” Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said. “I know that nothing can undo the trauma that they have endured, but I hope the victims find peace and healing now that this criminal process is complete.”
