WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — A retired New York City policeman has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for drugging a woman in a Bronx bar and raping her in a Westchester County motel.
Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore (dee-fee-OHR’-ay) said Jose Arroyo (uh-ROY’-oh) was sentenced Friday.
A 31-year-old woman from Texas was victimized in November, 2008.
Prosecutors said security video showed Arroyo drugging the woman’s drink while she was in the bathroom. Arroyo said the sex was consensual.
He was convicted of rape and drug charges, but acquitted of kidnapping.
DiFiore said crime-prevention techniques may help protect would-be victims. She recommends becoming familiar with your surroundings, and never leaving your drink unattended.
