(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – In Yuba County Court yesterday, after calling Francisco Oliver’s motion to dismiss “specious,” the judge sentenced the 30-year old to 15 to life. The sentence came after Oliver pled no contest to using force to rape by force & torture.

Oliver was arrested back in February after the victim had gone to the emergency room at the urging of a coworker, who had noticed bruising on her arm and neck. A deputy was called by ER staff and the victim reported being beaten and held captive over a two day period, because she had “spoken to a male friend on the phone.”

The victim described Oliver beating her with his fists, kicking her, pulling her around by the hair, hitting & strangling her to unconsciousness with a guitar amp cord, forcing her into the toilet and using a lit cigarette to burn her breasts and genitalia.

She was treated for a broken nose, bruising to her internal organs and 2nd degree burns.
