Esplanade Serial Rapist, Former Uber Driver, Sentenced To 18 Yrs

He was already set to be in jail for at least a decade for another rape.

BOSTON, MA — The serial Esplanade rapist already in jail for another another rape, was just sentenced to 18 to 22 more years, followed by five years of probation.

In June, Alejandro Done, 49, unexpectedly pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated rape, one count of rape, one count of assault with intent to rape, two counts of kidnapping, and one count of armed robbery, admitting to attacks on three women in 2006, 2007, and 2010.

He is accused of assaulting a fourth woman, but she returned to her native country shortly after the assault was not expected to be available for trial, according to the DA's office.

Done previously pleaded guilty in Middlesex Superior Court in 2015 to raping a woman in Cambridge. She'd mistaken him for her Uber driver and got in. Done was working for Uber, but he wasn't her assigned driver, according to officials. He's currently serving a 10-12 year sentence in prison for that.

Assistant District Attorney Amy Martin recommended a term of 25 to 30 years in prison for Done, followed by 10 years of probation, but Judge Janet Sanders ruled on 18-22, to begin once current his 10- to 12-year sentence out of Middlesex County expires. The earliest Done could get out of prison is 2043, when he's 79.
