A Maui court handed down a 60-year prison sentence in a long-running child abuse case, a hard-won outcome for the victim and her family.

• Roberto Andrade, 49, was found guilty on 16 counts of child sexual assault.
• Prosecutors said he abused a girl who lived in his home over four years, starting when she was nine.
• A family member came forward, which is what finally brought the case to light.
• The sentence is among the stiffest handed down on Maui for this kind of case.

Outlook: Andrade faces decades behind bars, with any appeal the only remaining step.
