Cancún, Quintana Roo — A judge has sentenced a man to 37 years and seven months in prison for the rape of a teenage girl in Cancún, the Quintana Roo State Prosecutor’s Office announced.
Daniel Ramón Jeremy Ávalos Esquivel was convicted after prosecutors presented evidence linking him to the assault, which took place on Dec. 22, 2018, according to the prosecutor’s office.
