Manuel Ortega, 22, the first of six defendants in the 2009 gang rape of a Richmond High School girl outside a school dance, was sentenced to 32 years in prison today. He pleaded guilty last month to avoid a life sentence, if convicted—a plea deal that prosecutors and the victim approved to spare her from having to testify at trial.
