A 54-year-old man was sentenced to six to nine years in prison for raping and assaulting a disabled 20-year-old woman a decade ago, Bristol County prosecutors said.

Fernando Rodriguez, of Puerto Rico, pleaded guilty to charges of rape and indecent assault and battery on a person with an intellectual disability, Bristol County District Attorney Tom Quinn said in a statement.

Rodriguez met the woman and her family while they were living in Puerto Rico. He abused the woman’s mother and her siblings, both physically and sexually, according to a statement from Quinn’s office.

In March of 2014, Rodriguez and the family moved to Somerset, then in October moved to Fall River. The assault happened on July 9, 2015 when Rodriguez walked into the woman’s bedroom and demanded she remove her clothes.
