Father convicted of rape and murder of teenage daughter ‘wants to retract guilty plea’

A father who pled guilty to the repeated drugging and sexual abuse of his daughter and to her murder, has requested to retract his admission of guilt, it has been reported. Mark Mesiti, 49, of Modesto, California, was convicted of the murder of his daughter Alycia Allen-Mesiti and 48 other felony sexual assault crimes earlier this month, after his trial was cut short when he entered a guilty plea in exchange for escaping the death penalty.
