7:15 p.m.An American Canyon man was convicted Friday of raping two women last year. Charles David Gordon, 25, faces a maximum prison sentence of 45 years to life.

Gordon was charged with two counts of forcible rape and two other sex charges related to incidents involved a young woman and an underage female. He waived his right to a jury trial, and Napa County Superior Court Judge Stephen Kroyer rendered the verdict after hearing the evidence.

In the first instance, the victim was a 16-year-old girl who visited Gordon at his apartment in November 2008 because, based on previous experience, she knew she could get alcohol from him, according to court documents. He gave her shots of Wild Turkey whiskey until she was incoherent and dizzy, she told investigators.

Gordon then kissed her, pushed her down and forced her to perform sexual acts while ignoring her calls for help, the document said.

Gordon called his parents to come get her because she was “drunk and out of control,” the document said. As they were driving away with the victim, she saw a police car.

She attempted to jump out of the car, crying hysterically and saying she was raped, the documents say Napa Police Department Officer Russ Davis said. The victim underwent an evaluation at the hospital, where results found evidence of sexual intercourse. A DNA sample matched Gordon, the court documents stated.

In the second case, the victim was 16 years old when she met the then-18-year-old Gordon in Medford, Ore. Gordon convinced her to move to American Canyon with him and live with his parents.

They dated and lived together off and on through 2008, during which time Gordon slapped, choked, threatened and sexually assaulted her, court documents said. It ended in January 2008, when the woman was 21, after he raped her twice and put out a cigarette on her leg.

Court documents also list two other victims, one from Jacksonville, Ore., and another from Napa. Both were Gordon’s girlfriends at the time of the alleged rapes.

All four women testified in the case against Gordon, although prosecutors only filed charges related to two of the three Napa County women and have no jurisdiction to file charges in the Oregon incident.

Prosecutors learned of the case after the first victim flagged down the police officer, said Napa County Deputy District Attorney Paul Gero. It sparked a four-month investigation, during which the office discovered the other cases.

“It seemed like every ex-girlfriend that would call would have something important to say,” Gero said.

Gero emphasized Gordon’s “pattern of violence” during the trial before Judge Kroyer.

“The evidence was overwhelming that he wanted to abuse them and control them,” he said.

Gordon testified for about five hours during the trial. He told the judge he had sex with the victims, but that it was consensual, Gero said. He also admitted to being rough with the second victim during their relationship, and expressed remorse.

“I think justice was served, and I think it was obvious to everyone in the courtroom,” Gero said.

Gordon’s defense attorney Mervin Lernhart didn’t return calls for this story.

Kroyer scheduled Gordon’s sentencing for Nov. 4.
