A 31-year-old Sunsites man will serve the rest of his life in jail for molesting his four children.

Ramiro Preciado was sentenced in Cochise County Superior Court to nine consecutive life sentences Tuesday.

Preciado was arrested Feb. 18, 2015 after a woman -- who had been working out of state for five months-- returned home and told authorities that he molested their children, 10 and 8-year-old girls and a 8 and 7-year-old boys.

The woman found a cell phone video that showed Preciado molesting the children.

Preciado was convicted of nine counts of sexual misconduct with a minor and three counts of child endangerment.
