Sheila Sikat

Authorities contend that Hwang and Sikat – as newlyweds – offered to babysit the 4-year-old girl, then molested her on videotape when they had her alone.Sikat faces punishment similar to the prison term given her husband if she is convicted of multiple felonies at trial, said Deputy District Attorney Beth Carmichael. Prosecuting and defense attorneys argued over pre-trial motions on Nov. 26 and jury selection began on Nov. 27. Now his alleged accomplice, Sheila Sikat, 26, gets her day in court. And it's been more than a year since the husband – David Shoutyh Hwang, 36 – pleaded guilty before trial and accepted a 50-year term in state prison for his role in the molestations. It's been more than three years since a Rancho Santa Margarita woman was arrested along with her husband and charged with molesting a 4-year-old girl in episodes recorded on videotape. Sikat's case has been continued numerous times over the years.
