PROVIDENCE, RI -- The state Supreme Court has upheld a child rape conviction against Chhoy Hak, formerly of Providence.

Hak was convicted in 2003 of four counts of first-degree child molestation and two counts of second-degree child molestation for sexually abusing his live-in girlfriend's daughters.

He was sentenced to concurrent terms of 40 years in the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston for the first-degree child molestation counts, with 20 years to serve and 20 years of probation, and 30 years in jail on the second-degree child molestation counts, with 15 years to serve and 15 years suspended.
