A man was arrested, charged and convicted of rape related charges after
raping his son’s prom date, according to court proceedings in Texas.
San Antonio Police said that a 67-year-old, who was convicted by a jury
last month of raping the prom date of his son, was sentenced Monday to
35 years in prison.
Ismael Cruz had faced a minimum 25-years behind bars because of two
previous trips to jail for driving while intoxicated. His attorney asked
District Judge Ray Olivarri to sentence his client to the minimum.
Cruz's accuser, then 19, told police in May 2012 that she had fallen
asleep in her boyfriend's house after drinking heavily on the night of
her prom. She remembered waking up in the middle of the night with her
dress partially removed and the defendant on top of her.
Cruz pushed him away and cried after realizing it was not her boyfriend,
the son told police. Cruz's son beat him up and continued beating him
after police arrived, court documents stated.
Cruz told police that he had consumed more than 60 beers that night.
