Taunton man to serve decades for raping his 3 step-daughters

TAUNTON, Mass. (WLNE) — Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn said Tuesday that a Taunton man was sentenced for sexually assaulting his three step-daughters.

According to court documents, 45-year-old Alexander Santana will spend the next 24 to 35 years in prison, followed by 10 years of probation after being found guilty of a laundry-list of sexual assault charges back in June.

District Attorney Thomas Quinn said Santana started molesting his oldest step-daughter before moving on to molesting his two younger step-daughters between February of 2014 and April of 2019.

Two weeks ago, Santana was found guilty of four counts of rape of a child, aggravated by age difference, four counts of indecent assault and battery on a person under the age of 14, two counts of indecent assault and battery on a person over the age of 14 and one count of assault with intent to rape.
