A perverted Arizona dental assistant was sentenced to 40 years in prison in a plea deal for sexually abusing three young children while they were under anesthesia during dental procedures, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell announced Friday. Delon Garcia — who worked as an X-ray tech at Kidiatric Dental — exploited his position to abuse victims between the ages of four and six during routine dental procedures, said authorities. Investigators opened a case in May 2024 after Chandler police received a report from the parents of a six-year-old girl, who said Garcia, 29, touched her and photographed her during a dental appointment, AZ Family reported.
