Thousand Oaks Man Guilty in Rape, Kidnaping : Crime: Raul Oscar Alamar, 29, faces 77 years in prison in assault of girl, 14. An accomplice could get a 48-year sentence.

A Thousand Oaks man who persuaded a teen-age companion to join him in a night of kidnaping and rape faces up to 77 years in prison after pleading guilty Wednesday to a number of charges related to the October assault on a 14-year-old girl in Oxnard.

The plea by Raul Oscar Alamar, 29, spares the victim from having to testify publicly about her ordeal, which began when she was kidnaped at gunpoint while sitting in a car with her boyfriend at Mandalay Beach in Oxnard.

The girl’s statements in a secret grand jury hearing last year led to the indictment of Alamar and Juan Carlos Coronado, 19, of Somis on a variety of charges.

Coronado pleaded guilty last month and faces up to 48 years in prison when he is sentenced June 4.

According to court documents, the girl was with Alamar and Coronado for four hours, during which time the pair forced her to take cocaine, raped her and locked her in the trunk of their car while they drove around.

After dropping off Coronado, Alamar drove the girl to her home in Oxnard, the documents state. Just before he let her go, Alamar started crying, apologized to the girl and asked if he could begin dating her, according to a sworn statement by investigators in the case.

The girl’s mother was able to provide police with Alamar’s license plate number and he was arrested within hours of the assault.

Alamar pleaded guilty to two counts each of raping the girl and having forcible oral copulation with her in concert with another person, plus kidnaping, transporting cocaine and forcing a minor to ingest cocaine, Deputy Dist. Atty. Mark R. Pachowicz said.

Alamar also admitted using a gun to commit the sex crimes, kidnaping the girl for the purpose of committing a sexual assault, and having prior felony convictions, including robbery and grand theft, Pachowicz said.

The maximum prison sentence for the crimes is more than 77 years, the prosecutor said. Alamar is not eligible for probation because of the sexual assault convictions.

Unlike Alamar, Coronado does not have an extensive criminal record, Pachowicz said. Alamar provided the car, the gun and the cocaine the night of the assault, the prosecutor said, but he added that once Coronado teamed up with Alamar, “I think their culpability was equal.”

Alamar’s attorney, Richard Nahigian of Los Angeles, could not be reached for comment.

Coronado fled to Mexico following the assault, where he stayed for several months before turning himself in to police March 16. He pleaded guilty to two counts each of rape and oral copulation.

Both men remain in the Ventura County Jail pending sentencing.
