An American rape victim flew in all the way from Chicago to testify against the taxi driver that raped her. And it paid off. 24 year old Ludim Najera was convicted of rape on the 16th. February and today he was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
It happened in June of 2008, when Najera was running a taxi and gave a ride to a 23 year old American woman who was doing volunteer work at the San Ignacio Hospital. She asked to be taken home, but instead, he took her to a remote road and raped her. He also punched her in the face and chopped her left hand.
The case was prosecuted in the central session of the Supreme Court by the DPP Cheryl Lyn Vidal while Najera was defended by Hubert Elrington and Justice John Gopzalez presided. 10 Witnesses were called.
