[9] Nguyen Nhu Quang, 63, pleaded guilty in February to 20 felonies and one misdemeanor in connection with performing surgery on nine patients between 1999 and 2003. Quang had been facing a maximum possible penalty of 27 years in prison but in part because he pleaded guilty to all charges, Judge Jerome Brock sentenced him to 11 years, 4 months in prison instead. Prosecutor Ann Huntley was satisfied with the sentence. "I thought 12 years was appropriate. 11 years, 4 months is not that different," Huntley said. Julie Thuy-Huong Trinh, 37, who acted as Quang's surgical assistant, was sentenced today to 4 years, 4 months in prison after pleading guilty in February to 15 felonies and one misdemeanor. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Stay current!

Ly referred patients to Quang. Prosecutors have Ly's passport so it is unlikely she has fled the country, according to Huntley. None of the victims in the case spoke at today's sentencing. Many of the women are so traumatized psychologically by what happened to them that they have been unwilling to get corrective surgery and are permanently scarred, Huntley said. >> Video On Demand: Build Your Own Newscast [11] >> Talk about this story [12] >> Get ABC7 News in your inbox [13] Last Updated: May 21, 2005 Back [14] [1] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/sports/060105ap_sp_49ers_flap.html [2] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/060105_nw_shaming.html [3] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/060105_nw_sj_hate.html [4] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/060105_nw_bag_lady.html [5] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/060105_nw_sf_fire.html [6] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/060105_nw_pitbulls.html [7] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/060105_nw_sf_murder.html [8] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/060105ap_nw_deep_throat.html [9] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news [10] http://register.go.com/ABCLocal/kgo/onpagesub/login?KGOHeadlines=Y&listname=KGOHeadlines [11] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/video/index.html [12] http://forums.go.com/abclocal/KGO/forum?forumID=31&byThread=false [13] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/features/memberservices.html [14] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/news/052005_nw_fake_doctor.html ============================================================================ Converted by an unregistered version of Detagger 2.4 Visit http://www.jafsoft.com/detagger/ This TEXT_FOOTER can be customised or removed in the registered version ============================================================================
