GREELEY, Colo. – A man who was sentenced in March to 26 years to life in prison for sexually assaulting an elderly woman is now facing an additional 24 years in connection with an unrelated case from 2019, according a spokesperson with the 19th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Damaige Plascencia was originally sentenced to the Department of Corrections in connection with a sexual assault case from Dec. 30, 2016. In that crime, Plascencia broke into the home of an elderly woman late at night and raped her after cutting her Weld County apartment’s power.
But last week, the suspect was found guilty by another jury of sexually assaulting a woman in Augusto 2019 who had passed out due to intoxication, knowing she had not consented, the DA spokesperson said.
