Illegal Immigrant Gets 168.5 Years for Assault, Fox 10 News, April 2, 2010
PHOENIX – The man dubbed as the “Chandler rapist” was sentenced to 168.5 years behind bars on Friday.
Santana Batiz-Aceves is an illegal alien. He was arrested in 2008 and admitted to preying on teenage girls, attacking them after their parents left for work.
Aceves plead guilty to a dozen charges last month as part of a plea deal, including child molestation and aggravated assault. He knew what he was going to get: 168.5 years.
On Friday, the court room was filled with sobs as victims and their families spoke out about Aceves’ reign of terror is the east valley.
He scoped out targets of his fiendish sex crimes, girls between the ages of 12 and 14. He researched comings and goings painstakingly, until the moment he pounced. Wielding knives, screwdrivers, anything he could find to intimidate his innocent victims. Then he threatened to kill them if they breathed a word to anyone.
One of those victims had the courage to stand before the judge and address her attacker.
Aceves had two prior felonies for drugs and burglary. He had been deported three times from the United States.
He hung his head the entire time in court, never once making eye contact with his victims or their families.
Santana Batiz-Aceves will be eligible to be released around the year 2178.
