Dominican-born cop gets 75 years in prison for sexual assaults

NEW YORK..- Dominican-born policeman Michael Peña, 28, was sentenced Monday to 75 years in prison, convicted of aggravated sexual assault on a public school teacher in the Inwood sector of the Bronx.

New York State Supreme Court justice Richard Carruthers ruled to convict Peña on the three counts of consecutive assault against the teacher on August 19, 2011, but the accused didn’t seem perturbed upon hearing “guilty” verdict

The victim testified that she was taken to the scene of the crime at gunpoint and when the patrol arrived found Peña with his pants below the waist and his service weapon on the ground.
