A former West Sacramento Police
officer convicted of kidnapping and sexually assaulting women while on duty has
been sentenced to life in prison.
38-year-old Sergio Alvarez
today was handed multiple 25-years-to-life sentences for forced oral copulation
and rape; 7 years-to-life terms for kidnapping; more years still for rape and
oral copulation under color of authority.
He was convicted of over 18
counts of kidnapping and sexual assault.
Alvarez kidnapped women off the
street in 2011 and 2012 while working the graveyard shift, targeting
prostitutes and addicts.
His wife had also fled with
their three kids.
In a letter to the court, she
wrote Alvarez was an out of control man who "became my abuser, not my
husband or friend."
