Richmond gang rape instigator gets 32 years in prison
http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/east_bay&id=8853977
MARTINEZ, Calif. (KGO) -- The man considered the instigator of a horrific attack on a 16-year-old girl outside a homecoming dance at Richmond High School received a long prison sentence Friday.
The plea deal came after jury selection had started in the trial of Manuel Ortega. Had he been found guilty by a jury, Ortega could have faced life in prison. Instead, he entered a plea that will put him behind bars for three decades.
Contra Costa Superior Court Judge Barbara Zuniga had few words for 22-year-old Ortega, the admitted attacker and primary instigator of a horrific gang rape that traumatized a Richmond community three years ago. In exchange for a plea of guilty to charges that included rape in concert, rape with a foreign object and sexual assault with great bodily injury, Ortega received 32 years in state prison.
