He sexually assaulted the girl while her mother was in a bathroom and again while her mother was sitting on the other side of the couch from them, according to the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office.

Khatoonian broke bond conditions and left California during the trial to see a girl in Michigan who he met online. Police in Tuscola County arrested Khatoonian in February.
