San Francisco Man Sentenced in Sexual Assault Cases

A San Francisco man, Sergio Alvarado, 60, was sentenced in San Francisco to a total of 25 years and four months in state prison following his convictions for multiple sexual offenses involving two relatives, prosecutors announced Tuesday.

Convictions for 2014 Sexual Assaults

A jury found Alvarado guilty of three counts of forcible rape and one count of forcible oral copulation for crimes that occurred in 2014. According to prosecutors, Alvarado sexually assaulted the first victim repeatedly over a period of several months. The victim in this case was a relative of Alvarado.

Additional 2019 Case Involving Minor Relative

Alvarado was also convicted in connection with a separate 2019 incident involving a different victim. In that case, he was found guilty of attempted forcible oral copulation on a minor and assault. Prosecutors stated that the 2019 victim was a 16-year-old relative of Alvarado.

Details of the 2019 Assault

Prosecutors reported that in the 2019 case, Alvarado assaulted the 16-year-old victim in his car. The incident occurred after he offered to drive her to a job interview. The San Francisco District Attorney's Office described this conduct as part of the basis for the attempted forcible oral copulation and assault convictions.

Prosecutors Announce Sentencing Outcome

The San Francisco District Attorney's Office announced the sentencing in a press release. The office confirmed that a judge imposed the total term of 25 years and four months in state prison based on the jury’s findings in the 2014 and 2019 cases.

Statement from Assistant District Attorney

Assistant District Attorney Sheila Johnson issued a prepared statement following the sentencing. In her statement, she referred to Alvarado's actions as an exploitation of family trust and said the conduct caused profound psychological trauma to the two victims. She also expressed the view that bringing Alvarado to justice may help restore the victims' sense of humanity and convey that such violence will not be tolerated.
