Admitted Rapist To Be Sentenced

A man who has been con­victed of rape twice will be sen­tenced today in Williams County Court. 28 year old Richard Mojica Jr. of Bryan, faces the pos­si­bil­ity of as much as 21 years in prison. No mat­ter what the length of his time behind bars will be, Mojica will be required to reg­is­ter as a Tier III sex offender for life. Mojica was indicted by a Williams County grand jury in Decem­ber and pleaded guilty last week to engag­ing in sex­ual con­duct with a woman when the woman’s abil­ity to resist or con­sent was sub­stan­tially impaired because of a men­tal or phys­i­cal con­di­tion.

Mojica also, accord­ing to pros­e­cu­tors, used force or the threat of force to com­pel the vic­tim to sub­mit to sex­ual con­duct. Mojica has prior con­vic­tions in Bryan Munic­i­pal Court for domes­tic vio­lence and resist­ing arrest, both in 2011.
