That depends on what he did, what he is charged with, what the facts are and his prior record. I would need to know much more in order to make a guess.

If the abuse was ongoing and the child is under 14, it could be life.

In GA, it depends on what exactly he is charged with, but the sentences for each charge can be run consecutively to each other (back to back) and with molestation charges, the offender serves every day of his sentence. There is no good time credit for serious molestation offenses.

A sentence in Washington state is based on the seriousness level of the charged offense and the the offender's previous record. There are three levels of child molest and the term is often used to describe other crimes. The way your question is asked it could be 6 months to life.

Without looking at the facts, looking at the charging documents, and any criminal history he might have, I can't say.

10 years unless he gets a great plea bargain.

Depends on the allegations, the age of the child, injuries, and the guy's criminal history.
