District Attorney Jan Scully announced that Ladell Lamont Sanders was convicted by jury of six charges, including forcible sexual intercourse and forcible oral copulation of three separate female victims.
On November 15, December 10, and December 13 of 2011, Sanders committed three sexual assaults in south Sacramento. He threatened each victim by stating he had a gun or by displaying a gun, and then drove them to remote areas where he sexually assaulted them. After the assaults, Sanders fled and left the victims stranded in the remote area.
Sanders was determined to be a suspect after an attentive Sacramento police officer recognized the description of the suspect and suspect’s car from a vehicle stop he made on November 1, 2011 in the same area. In addition, Sanders was determined to be a suspect in the December 13, 2011 sexual assault through the use of DNA analysis that was performed by the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Crime Lab.
Deputy District Attorney Amy Holliday states, “I commend and thank Officer Richard Kawasaki and Detective Theresa Castiglia of the Sacramento Police Department and Victim Advocate Mailyn Chuong and Criminal Investigator Cathy Barker of the District Attorney’s Office for their hard work and dedication to obtaining justice for these victims of crime.”
Sanders will be sentenced on March 15, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. in Department 14 by the Honorable Eugene Balonon.
