80 Years For Rape of Canadian Woman
The Tribubal Penal de Puntarenas sentenced a taxi driver to 80 years - yes, 80 years - in prison for eight counts of aggravated rape of a Canadian woman who was visiting Playa Jacó.

Judges, Juan Carlos Mejía, Ronald Nicolás and Salvador Barrantes, handed down the sentenced to the man identified only by his last name Durán Reyes.

The rape occurred one year ago when the woman contracted taxista Durán Reyes to take her to the bus station in San José, a 2 hour ride. However, the Durán Reyes took a detour into an abandoned field along the route and repeatedly raped the woman.

Durán Reyes was arrested a week later after a police manhunt and has spent the last year in preventive detention, having to spend another 79 years of life behind bars.
