A former member of a Guatemalan paramilitary group who was deported from the U.S. has been found guilty and sentenced to prison for crimes against humanity by a court in his native country.

According to a press release issued by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 66-year-old Francisco Cuxum Alvarado is to serve 30 years for his role in sexual violence targeting indigenous women in the 1980s.

“After nearly 40 years, the women victimized by Cuxum Alvarado and the other defendants have finally received a measure of justice,” Assistant Director for National Security Homeland Security Investigations Andre Watson said in the release. “Although Cuxum Alvarado attempted to hide in a quiet suburban town, through incredible investigative effort and cooperation he was found, prosecuted and returned to Guatemala to face the victims and the legal consequences of his actions.”

Also convicted by a High-Risk Court in Guatemala City, Guatemala, are Benvenuto Ruiz Aquino, 63; Bernardo Ruiz Alvarado, 57; Gabriel Cuxum Alvarado, 64; and Damian Cuxum Alvarado, 67, per the website Border Report.

A Guatemala City judge in January found Benvenuto Ruiz Aquino, 63; Bernardo Ruiz Alvarado, 57; Francisco Cuxum Alvarado, 66; Gabriel Cuxum Alvarado, 64; and Damian Cuxum Alvarado, 67, guilty of crimes against humanity including sexual assaults against at least 36 Maya Achi women during Guatemala’s civil war.

The men were accused in participating in assaults that occurred from 1981 to 1984 during an armed conflict between the pro-U.S. government and rural guerilla movements.
