Three-and-a-half years after he was arrested for the rape and murder of 6-year-old Jenise Wright (right), Gabriel Gaeta (left) pleaded guilty Friday to those charges and could face 40 years to life in prison.
Gaeta was 17 at the time of his arrest and is now 21. He was charged as an adult and was initially declared incompetent to stand trial. After treatment, he was deemed mentally competent and chose to plead guilty rather than stand trial. His sentencing is scheduled for May 21.
Attorneys will jointly recommend the 40-year minimum sentence to Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Jennifer Forbes. Gaeta pleaded guilty to aggravated first-degree murder and first-degree rape of a child.
