SALEM, Ore. (AP) - A Portland man has been sentenced to nearly 48 years in prison after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman in Salem in 2014.

The Statesman Journal reports (https://is.gd/xZCjsp ) that 28-year-old Jordon Perkins was found guilty in May of two counts of first-degree rape, two counts of first-degree sodomy, one count of first-degree sex abuse, one count of first-degree unlawful sexual penetration and one count of third-degree assault.

District Attorney Nicole Theobald says Perkins forced a woman to have sex before helping another man, 28-year-old Alander Jacob, do the same. The men then assaulted her and left her on the side of a road.



Jacob, who was initially charged with the same crimes, pleaded guilty in October 2014 to second-degree kidnapping, first-degree sodomy and second-degree robbery. He was sentenced to 14 years and two months in prison. His case is currently under appeal.
