Cop Sentenced To 30 Years For On-Duty Rape
LOS ANGELES-A former deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department was sentenced Monday to 360 months in federal prison for raping a woman, forcing another woman to perform oral sex, and fondling a third woman's breasts, all while on duty.Gabriel Gonzalez, 38, of Chino Hills, was sentenced this by U.S. District Judge Christina A. Snyder. During the sentencing hearing, Judge Snyder heard from two of the victims who said the assaults had had a devastating impact on their lives. "I feel as if I am carrying a heavy weight that my rapist has forced me to carry my whole life," one woman told the court.Gozalez was convicted of three civil rights offenses on Feb. 27 following a two-week jury trial. The evidence at trial showed that Gonzalez pulled over one woman for an alleged traffic violation, drove her to a secluded location, and raped her. Gonzalez stopped another woman for jaywalking, drove her to an alley and forced her to perform oral sex. Gonzalez stopped a third woman for an alleged traffic violation and fondled her breasts under the pretense of searching her for drugs.Gonzalez was an eight-year veteran of the Sheriff's Department when he was suspended in August 2004. He quit the department earlier this year after being informed by the department that he was going to be terminated. 8-07-06
