Angel Ruiz stole the victim’s phone and cash after the assaults.
SAN ANTONIOAngel Ruiz, 33, sexually assaulted a coworker multiple times in March 2022 at a downtown bar where they both worked and the assault was caught on surveillance cameras. After the assaults, he stole the victim’s phone and cash.
On Friday, a jury in the 290th District Court convicted Ruiz on four counts of second-degree felony sexual assault. Ruiz will be required to serve at least half of his 14-year sentence before he is eligible for parole. He was facing punishments ranging from 2-20 years in prison. “Defendant Ruiz took advantage of his friendship with the victim and attacked her in a vulnerable state. I am proud of her for coming forward and testifying against the defendant and proud of our prosecution team for their hard work. I hope she can now find peace knowing her assailant has been brought to justice,” said Bexar County Criminal District Attorney Joe Gonzales.
