A 27-year-old man who arranged to meet women for dates via the internet and then robbed and sexually assaulted them during meetings in Riverside and San Bernardino counties was convicted of more than a half-dozen charges on Tuesday, Oct. 7, and now faces a sentence of more than 20 years in state prison.

After two weeks of testimony, a Riverside jury deliberated only a few hours before finding DeJuan Ramon Jones of Victorville guilty of three counts of forcible rape and two counts each of assault with a deadly weapon and forced oral copulation and one count of robbery, as well as sentence-enhancing allegations of targeting more than one victim in sex crimes and inflicting great bodily injury.

Jurors acquitted him of kidnapping to commit rape and assault with intent to commit mayhem.
