A South Bend man has been sentenced to 160 years in prison for multiple child molestation counts.

Tony Arguello, 50, is accused of molesting six and eight years old relatives of an ex-girlfriend, according to court documents.

One of the victims said Arguello assaulted her on a daily basis.

She said he would give her candy and said he wanted to marry her, the court documents stated.

During the trial, the jury saw a taped interview where Arguello denied the charges and then later admitted to them.
