Supervisor convicted of coercing women into sex

A supervisor over inmates in a California work release program was convicted Tuesday of coercing six of his workers into sex.

Frank Martin Bojorquez Jr., 55, of Orange faces up to 33 years in prison for the six felonies and five misdemeanors at his sentencing May 30 at 9 a.m., according to the District Attorney's office.
Between Oct. 1, 2004, and Dec. 10, 2005, Bojorquez used his position supervising inmates in the Community Work Program to coerce six of the women into having sex with him.

He used positions in secluded areas of the animal pound to get his victims alone, and the power he had over them came as a result of his ability to send them back to prison for poor job performance.

The six women who came forward with their stories of victimization did so independantly. He will be sentenced May 30.
