Sacramento Superior Court juries have convicted a man of raping his girlfriend's roommate and another man of sexually assaulting a young relative, according to the District Attorney's Office.

A DA's news release gave these accounts:

Alexander Bigby, 23, was convicted of forcibly raping a young woman who was Bigby's girlfriend's roommate.

When the victim came home one day, her roommate was not there and Bigby was in the apartment alone. Bigby raped her.

Bigby is to be sentenced April 15 before Judge Maryanne G. Gilliard.

Frank Richardson, 54, was convicted of three counts of performing lewd or lascivious acts with a child younger than 14 years old and false imprisonment.

Richardson was found guilty of molesting a 12-year-old relative on three separate occasions.

The first incident occurred when Richardson was giving the girl a driving test and grabbed her breasts while she was driving.

He grabbed her a second time when she was home from school.

During the third molestation, Richardson sexually assaulted the girl while she was sleeping.

Richardson is to be sentenced April 1 before Judge J. Richard Couzens.

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
