A Rochester man was given a 20 year prison term today for the sexual assault of a woman who went to his residence to see about renting a room.  The incident happened in April when the 28 year old woman who had been staying at the local Dorothy House decided to try to find a place to rent. A friend told her to talk to 46 year old Reynaldo Morales, who had been living in an apartment in the 300 block of Elton Hills Drive northeast.

Police say the woman went to his residence and while there, Morales ripped off her clothing and sexually assaulted her.

The woman was eventually able to get away and officers later interviewed Morales, who said it was consensual sex.

He was convicted by a jury last month of 1st degree criminal sexual conduct.

The court also ordered conditional release the rest of his life after he serves his time.
