ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An Anchorage taxi driver has been convicted of sexually assaulting a woman in the back seat of his cab.
Rafael Lopez Martinez, 44, was convicted of second-degree sexual assault Wednesday.
KTUU-TV says Martinez was arrested after a woman he picked up at a downtown hotel told police that she had been raped. The woman said she had been drinking with friends from Bethel at a hotel and passed out on the ride to her home.
The woman told police that when she regained consciousness, her jeans had been removed and Martinez was standing over her.
