San Diego Babysitter Gets 100-Years-to-Life Sentence for Molesting Children in Her Care
Lyon exploited her role caring for special needs children to abuse and facilitate abuse by her boyfriend, with at least four victims aged 3 to 7, some autistic and non-verbal.
- On Thursday, Brittney Mae Lyon, a 31-year-old babysitter from North County, was sentenced to 100 years to life for taking young girls to her boyfriend, Samuel Cabrera, to molest them in San Diego.
- Lyon and Cabrera were arrested in 2016 after a child disclosed abuse that led police to uncover hundreds of videos of molestations on six hard drives found in Cabrera's car.
- Victims included autistic and nonverbal children aged three to seven, and Lyon manipulated parents' trust by advertising babysitting services focused on special needs children.
- During sentencing, Lyon’s attorney read a letter in which Lyon expressed deep remorse, explaining she had reflected for nearly a decade on what to say today; however, parents of the victims criticized the sentence as too lenient given the lasting trauma and Lyon’s eligibility for early parole.
- Judge Daniel Link and District Attorney Summer Stephan emphasized Lyon will likely never be released, but the DA’s office supports excluding sex offenders from elder parole amid stalled legislative efforts.
