Alberto Del Rio Indicted By Grand Jury For Aggravated Kidnapping

Alberto Del Rio could be facing life in prison after being indicted by a grand jury. 

In May, Del Rio (real name Jose Alberto Rodriguez Chucuan) was charged with sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping, with the latter being listed as the primary charge. He is set to be arraigned on Friday according to PWInsider.

If convicted in the first degree, it could result in a sentence ranging from five to 99 years or life in prison and/or a fine up to $10,000.  If the accused can prove they released the alleged victim voluntarily, he could only be convicted of aggravated kidnapping in the second degree, which could result in a prison sentence ranging from two to 20 years and/or a fine up to $10,000.

Press release:

2 men indicted for separate sex offenses
This week, Bexar County Grand Juries handed down 250 felony indictments.

Jose Rodriguez Chucuan is charged in a multi-count indictment. The indictment alleges that on May 3, 2020, Chucuan committed one count of aggravated kidnapping and four counts of sexual assault. 

Anthony Martinez is charged with sexual assault of a child. The indictment alleges that on May 22, 2020, Martinez committed the offense of sexual assault of a person younger than 17 years of age. 

Both cases are being prosecuted by the Family Violence Division in the 226th District Court. Because these cases are pending trial, we can make no further comment on them. 

In the original report, the victim said Del Rio slapped her across the head twice before taking her downstairs and forcing her to put on a dress and dance for him and if she cried, he threatened to take her son and drop him in the middle of the road. He also allegedly became angry when she wouldn’t admit to being unfaithful.

Police said Del Rio tied the woman’s hands with boxing straps, put a sock in her mouth and sexually assaulted her for several hours, using various objects. According to investigators, he also punched her in the back during the assault, causing visible injuries. The victim told detectives she does not remember much after he placed his hand around her throat.
