BY NEAL PUTNAM “Your turn.” Those two words were the only comments a former child abuse victim said July 21 to a Ramona man just before he was sentenced to 24 years in state prison for molesting her and another girl. The victim, who is now an adult, stared at Daniel Wayne Hogan, 40, for a few seconds before she made her statement. She did not say anything else before she returned to her seat in the courtroom audience. Hogan pleaded guilty in June to two counts of continuous sexual abuse of two girls. El Cajon Superior Court Judge Daniel Goldstein gave him credit for already serving 225 days in jail. Hogan was charged with 43 other child molestation counts that were dismissed in light of his guilty plea to the two most serious counts. Deputy District Attorney Kerry Conway said the charges reflected conduct from 2004 to 2011. Hogan pleaded guilty before having a preliminary hearing in which the girls would have had to testify. Conway said she was happy the girls did not have to testify. “Mr. Hogan pled guilty because he is extremely remorseful for his actions and because he wanted to spare the victims from having to testify,” said his attorney, Kerry Armstrong. “He sincerely hopes that they can begin to heal and that they live happy and successful lives.” The charges included lewd acts, oral copulation, and sodomy with a minor. Had Hogan gone to trial on all charges and been convicted, he would have faced up to 400 years in prison. He was arrested Jan. 8 by the Fugitive Task Force.
