Prosecutors in Guilford County have not decided what to do about pending charges against Gilberto Cruz Hernandez, a man convicted Monday of 14 charges stemming from a string of rapes in Winston-Salem.
Cruz Hernandez, 27, was sentenced to a minimum of 109 years for crimes that included first-degree rape, first-degree sex offenses and burglary. The charges were from four sexual assaults in Winston-Salem in February 2005. Cruz Hernandez's DNA matched evidence from all four scenes.
He also has charges pending from three sexual assaults in Greensboro and one in High Point from 2004 and early 2005.
Howard Neumann, an assistant district attorney, said that Guilford prosecutors have not decided what to do with Cruz Hernandez's case there.
Cruz Hernandez has appealed his convictions. His attorney, Paul James, said in court that Cruz Hernandez would be deported if he ever was released from prison, although the length of the sentence makes that issue highly unlikely.
Cruz Hernandez had been deported to Mexico in 1997 and again in 2002.

Doesn't look like he'll ever be rehabilitated. Why isn't a serial rapist like this getting the death penalty?
