Former Calif. Police Officer Is Sentenced
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) -- A former police officer was sentenced to 34 years in prison for sexually assaulting women while he was on duty alone during the night.
Ronald Allen VanRossum, 38, admitted arresting women for outstanding warrants, then driving them to remote areas or a police substation, where he would sexually assault and then release them, prosecutors said.
Judge James Edwards said VanRossum, who had no prior criminal history, abused his power as a police officer.
"The victims were vulnerable, and he was in a position of leadership and authority," the judge said.
VanRossum made no statement before he was sentenced Friday. His attorney, William Hadden, also declined to comment.
In a plea bargain, VanRossum pleaded no contest to 11 felony counts including rape and sexual battery in the attacks on more than a dozen women.
He could be eligible for parole in 17 years.
