Bethlehem Man Sentenced for Raping 11-Year-Old

Hector Otmo gets 5 1/2 to 15 years for December 2009 attack.

A Bethlehem man was sentenced to no less than 5 1/2 years in prison by a Northampton County judge for raping an 11-year-old girl in 2009, according to this Morning Call report.

The report says Hector Otmo, 25, apparently badmouthed the victim to his pre-sentence evaluators, saying the sex was consensual and the girl had provoked it. Judge Anthony Beltrami said he was offended by those comments.
