A man convicted in 2022 of sexually assaulting a woman in Harvard has been sentenced to two years in a federal prison for being in the U.S. unlawfully at the time, federal authorities announced Friday.

Santos Vasquez-Ortiz, 41, a foreign national from Guatemala, was deported from the U.S. in 2008, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice, before he illegally reentered the country.

He committed the sexual assault in Harvard on or about Jan. 1, 2021, according to the criminal complaint in McHenry County court. On June 3, 2022, he was sentenced to five years in prison for the crime. But with a requirement to serve just 85% of his term and credit for time served in the county jail, he would have been released early, according to court records.

Vasquez-Ortiz “was unlawfully present in the United States when he was arrested in 2021 for the Harvard offense,” authorities said. He had returned to the U.S. after his deportation without “authorization from the U.S. government,” according to the DOJ.

Vasquez-Ortiz pleaded guilty earlier this year in federal court in Rockford to one count of unlawful reentry after removal, according to the DOJ.

U.S. District Judge Iain Johnston imposed the two-year federal prison sentence Monday.

The sentence was announced by Andrew Boutros, an attorney for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and Matthew Scarpino, special agent in charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations in Chicago. The government was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert S. Ladd.
