A Southern California jury deliberated for less than a day before finding Jose Andres Plascencia, 42, guilty of kidnapping to commit a sex crime and five counts of rape.
The first of two men to go on trial for kidnapping an 11-year-old girl off a Santa Ana street and repeatedly raping her was convicted Thursday of the more than two-decade-old sexual assault.
The two men were accused of abducting the girl on Feb. 3, 1999, driving her to secluded parking lots and taking turns raping her and holding her down. Plascencia’s attorney had argued that he was too inebriated that day to recall what had happened, and questioned whether the girl willingly had sex with the two men.
The girls decided they wanted to get out of the car, according to prosecutors, and the 13-year-old was able to exit the vehicle, while one of the men allegedly pulled the 11-year-old by the hair and kept her in the vehicle.
