Honduran police officer Amado Rodriguez Borjas will spend 10-13 years in prison after being convicted Sept. 9 in a stabbing attack on a transgender woman in Tegucigalpa.

The woman, Nohelia Flores Alvarez, was abducted and stabbed 17 times on Dec. 18, 2008, after she refused to have sex with Rodriguez when he approached her in public, Human Rights Watch said.
