A former U.S. Border Patrol officer was sentenced to eight years in prison Wednesday after admitting he sexually assaulted a Mexican woman traveling in the U.S., the Desert Sun reports.
Luis Edward Hermosillo was sentenced immediately after he pleaded guilty in Riverside County Superior Court to sexual penetration by threatening to use the authority of a public official and kidnapping.
Hermosillo was accused in court of pulling over the tourist and her two children, ages 2 and 5, in Indio, Calif.
Authorities said Hermosillo groped and penetrated the woman with his finger after he ordered her out of the car, the Desert Sun reported.
