Man Sentenced For 3 Rapes In San Mateo County

SAN MATEO, CA — A 29-year-old man has been sentenced to 90 years to life in prison for raping three different women in San Mateo County in 2020, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Alejandro Guevara was convicted in December of multiple counts of forcible rape and other charges for sexual assaults that took place in June, July and August of 2020, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office.

Guevara was arrested at his mother's home in Redwood City after a case in August 2020 in which a woman in her 60s was found raped and beaten unconscious along El Camino Real in San Mateo.
Witnesses provided a detailed description of the suspect and investigators found video at a nearby business that showed a clear view of the assailant, San Mateo police said.

Prosecutors then charged Guevara with two additional rapes — one from July near the main library in Redwood City and another from June in the Caltrain parking garage in Redwood City.

After being convicted in a jury trial, a San Mateo County Superior Court judge on Monday sentenced Guevara to the 90-year sentence with more than 1,100 days' credit for time served.

Guevara's defense attorney was not immediately available to comment on the case.
