A 35-year-old Mountain House man is now facing a total of 26 years in prison for two sexual assaults in the Bay Area, having recently been sentenced to an additional 18 years by a Contra Costa judge for the assault of a woman at a party in San Ramon three years ago.
Qais Faizi, who was hit with an eight-year prison sentence in January following a jury trial in Santa Clara court in which he was found guilty for his involvement in a 2017 gang rape of an intoxicated woman in San Jose, received the maximum sentence earlier this month for another rape of an intoxicated woman in San Ramon in 2021.
Faizi was found guilty on felony counts of forcible rape, rape of an unconscious person, rape of an intoxicated person and sexual penetration by a foreign object as well as receiving enhancements on each count at the conclusion of the trial in Contra Costa court on July 11, then sentenced to the maximum 18 years in prison by judge David Goldstein on Aug. 2.
Faizi filed a notice of appeal on Tuesday, with the deadline for the full appeal process set for 60 days after the sentencing date.
