Jose Jesus Perez, 46, had faced life in prison after being convicted of two counts of deprivation of rights under the color of law after being convicted of forcing two prostitutes to perform oral sex and engage in intercourse with him in 2011.
Jose Jesus Perez, 47, of Menifee was convicted in May of two felony counts and one misdemeanor count of deprivation of rights under color of law for sexually assaulting two women in 2011. Perez worked in the vice division, which investigates, among other things, prostitution.
Two prostitutes, whose identities were not released, told investigators they engaged in the sex acts with Perez out of fear of arrest, according to acting U.S. Atty. Stephanie Yonekura’s office.
