Back in 2008 we reported on the horrific carjacking and gang rape of a lesbian in Richmond, California. The victim was walking to her apartment when she was struck with a flashlight, robbed, and ordered to take her clothes off, forced into her car, driven seven blocks and then sexually assaulted. She was targeted because she is a lesbian.
The ringleader in this inhuman, savage attack was sentenced this week, SFGate reports:
Humberto Salvador, 36, of Richmond was found guilty in December of rape in concert, forcible oral copulation in concert, kidnapping for sexual purposes and kidnapping for the purpose of carjacking.
At a hearing Friday, Judge Susanne Fenstermacher sentenced Salvador to 411 years to life. The victim wasn't in court, but prosecutor Melissa Smith read a statement by her partner.
"She has lost the will to live," the statement read. "Although she is alive, they killed her inside."
Two of Salvador's accomplices received 31-year and 24-year sentences. A third got 13 years.
