A senior non-commissioned officer stationed at Fort Hood has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after a military jury convicted him of raping and sexually abusing two children, concluding one of the most serious criminal cases prosecuted by the Army in recent years.

Rivera, 49, a telecommunications operations chief assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 11th Corps Signal Brigade, III Armored Corps, was sentenced by a military judge following his conviction at the Lawrence Williams Judicial Center at Fort Hood, according to the Army.

胡德堡士官長里維拉因強暴及虐待2名兒童，遭軍事陪審團裁定有罪。

一名駐紮在胡德堡的資深士官，在軍事陪審團裁定其強暴並性虐待2名兒童有罪後，被判處25年監禁。這為美國陸軍近年來起訴的最嚴重刑事案件之一劃下了句點。

根據陸軍說法，49歲的陸軍士官長里維拉先前在第 3 裝甲軍第11戰略信號旅的旅部連擔任電信營運主管。他在胡德堡的威廉姆斯司法中心被判有罪後，由軍事法官宣判刑責。

該判決代表了近期陸軍兒童性虐待案件中所實施的最嚴厲懲罰之一。判決內容包括25年的有期徒刑、沒收全部薪資與津貼、降階至E-1（二等兵）最低職等，以及從陸軍不名譽退伍。根據陸軍特別審判檢察官辦公室的說法，他將在堪薩斯州萊文沃斯堡的美國軍事監獄服刑。
