SEATTLE (AP) — A 29-year-old Bellevue man has pleaded guilty to four federal felonies that carry a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years. Federal prosecutors say Steve Godina Ochoa was arrested in February 2020 after a 13-year-old runaway told counselors that he had repeatedly sexually assaulted her. When Bellevue police investigated the claims, they found methamphetamine, heroin and firearms in his vehicle. Godina Ochoa was prohibited from possessing firearms due to prior convictions for arson and illegal possession of guns. Under the plea agreement, prosecutors and his defense attorney agreed to recommend a mandatory minimum of 10 years. His sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 11, 2022.
