"Emari O'Garrow, 47, was found guilty of rape and attempted rape Tuesday in connection with a Feb. 2, 2022 assault at his San Jose apartment following a month-long trial. He is being held in the Elmwood men's jail in Milpitas, where he has been in custody since his arrest roughly two weeks after the reported attack. In a second set of deliberations held Wednesday, jurors affirmed five rape convictions issued against O'Garrow more than a decade ago in Norway."
"This defendant's actions have caused profound harm to so many people for so many years. Welsh added: What I am most struck by, is what put a stop to that is three survivors putting their lives on hold, to stand together against an incredibly violent and dangerous offender. They came together from across the world to ensure he did not harm anyone else, and I want to thank them for their courage and perseverance."
Emari O'Garrow, 47, was convicted of rape and attempted rape for an assault on Feb. 2, 2022 at his San Jose apartment after a month-long trial. He has been held in the Elmwood men's jail in Milpitas since his arrest roughly two weeks after the reported attack. Jurors affirmed five rape convictions issued against O'Garrow more than a decade ago in Norway. Judge Javier Alcala can consider those Norway convictions as prior offenses at sentencing expected next year, increasing his exposure to a potential life term. Two victims from the Norway convictions traveled to the Bay Area to testify, including a woman who was a teen when she was raped.
