A 47-year-old man was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison for raping a woman in Santa Ana two years ago.<\/p>\n
Rudy Rivas Ceja pleaded guilty in May to rape, robbery and assault with caustic chemicals, all felonies.<\/p>\n
Ceja was accused of approaching the woman and a friend who were smoking methamphetamine about 7 p.m. April 2, 2024, police testified in Ceja\u2019s preliminary hearing.<\/p>\n
At gunpoint, Ceja told the woman\u2019s friend to leave and he took her to a market and then to a park where he sexually assaulted her, police said.<\/p>\n
Ceja also pleaded guilty to throwing caustic chemicals at another woman on the same day, according to court records.<\/p>\n
Ceja was also charged with sodomy by force, forcible oral copulation and criminal threats, all felonies, with sentencing enhancements for kidnapping to commit a sex offense and a robbery. Those charges were dismissed Thursday as part of his plea deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 47-year-old man was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison for raping a woman in Santa Ana…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":490603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164,47389,7563,21777,688],"class_list":["post-490602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-gets","tag-rape","tag-santa","tag-years"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/490603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
