Palo Alto Man Sentenced to 17 Years
Roberto Recendes, 42, received 17 years in state prison for physically abusing 94-year-old woman years ago. Recedes assaulted the woman back in 2002 at the convalescent home in El Camino Way. According to Palo Alto Patch, Recedes received "eight years for forced penetration, four years for elder abuse and a five-year enhancement for inflicting great bodily harm".
After a long search and extradition to the US by Mexican authorities in 2008, Recendes admitted to raping and beating the elderly woman, leaving her severely bruised. He is required to pay restitution to the victim's family as well as register as a sex offender.
