A 20-year-old man has been sentenced to 29 years in prison for sexually abusing multiple children and a dog, the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office said Friday.
Gage Mason pleaded guilty to all charges and “aggravating circumstances” on June 5, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors said he will be required to register as a sex offender.
The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation into Mason after he was arrested in April 2023 after receiving a report of a sexual assault against a minor.
Investigators learned he also had sex with a dog, the Sheriff’s Department said at the time. Detectives determined the acts had occurred over several years, the department said.
Mason was 18 and living in Clovis when he was arrested last year.
