A 20-year-old man today was sentenced to spend 10 years to life in prison on a sex-assault conviction, and upon his release, he will face deportation, according to the Weld County district attorney's office.

Raul Mendoza, who authorities said is in the country illegally, was convicted in April of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old Greeley girl last year.

Greeley police arrested Mendoza after the girl told her parents she was assaulted by him, according to prosecutors.
