Actor Adonis Losada, better known for his role as "Doña Concha" on Univisión's "Sábado Gigante", was found guilty on Wednesday, Feb. 6 of 66 charges of child pornography, local media reported.
According to a report published by the Sun Sentinel, 49-year-old Adonis Losada was found guilty after an intense 7-day trial in which the TV actor refused to get a defense attorney.
Karen Miller, Judge of the Palm Beach, Florida court, found Losada guilty of 33 charges of distributing child pornography and 33 charges of possessing child pornography, accusations for which the former actor might face up to 330 years in jail.
The same source detailed that the comedian assumed his own defense under a final plea with religious arguments translated to English by an interpreter, a plea which did not manage to convince Judge Miller.
Witnesses said the former actor was barely lucid and that he even asked not to be present during the Judge's ruling.
"I don't want to be here. I don't want to participate on the witness interrogations. Send me the verdict and all that information," the Cuban actor told Judge Karen Miller, according to the Latin Times.
Adonis Losada, who is remembered for making the audience of Sábado Gigante laugh with his grey wig and grandma glasses to personify "Doña Concha" in the popular show, was arrested in 2009 after chatting with an undercover police officer, with whom he shared pictures of adults having sexual relations with children, according to Los Angeles Times.
Losada faces a minimum of 44 years in prison and a maximum sentence of 330 years. The actor refused the state's offer to plead guilty in exchange for a 20-year sentence.
