A man who sexually molested three young girls while living in Woonsocket received a 27-year prison sentence on Wednesday.

Superior Court Justice Netti C. Vogel sentenced David Girard, 35, of Dixfield, ME, to 60 years, with 27 to be served at the Rhode Island Adult Correctional Institute, according to the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office.

He will spend the remainder of his sentence suspended with probation.

Girard was charged with three counts of first degree child molestation and three counts of second degree child molestation for molesting three young girls, ages 6 to 11, on several occasions between 2005 and 2012 while he was living in Woonsocket, the Attorney General’s Office reports.
