Ventura County father convicted of incest involving daughter set for early jail release, records show

Stephen Chavez, 41, is expected to leave a Ventura County jail on Monday after serving less than six months of a one-year sentence for incest and providing alcohol to his 18-year-old daughter. He pleaded guilty in May and received three years of probation; prosecutors had sought a longer prison term. The case drew renewed attention after the victim, Makayla Settles, died by suicide months after the assault.
