SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Three men who videotaped their gang-rape of an unconscious 18-year-old woman in a Tustin motel room have been sentenced to six years each in state prison.
Luster Mitchell Lewis of Irvine pleaded guilty Friday to eight felony counts, including rape, as his case was to go to trial in Orange County Superior Court.
Michael Clemmons of Tustin and John Paul Foster of Seaside pleaded guilty to the same charges in September as part of a plea agreement.
Prosecutors say the three men in their 20s were partying at a Tustin hotel in July 2008 when the woman passed out and they raped her.
In December 2008, someone discovered the 21-minute video of the rape and turned it over to police.
