Paul John Santos, 49, also was found guilty of official misconduct, bribery and abetting prostitution.

Santos was indicted in 2014 after a woman told the FBI a man in a Guam Police Department uniform raped her at her hotel room in September 2014.

Santos was found guilty of three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, two counts of official misconduct, one count of bribery and one count of abetting prostitution.

He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison for the most serious offense of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.

The woman who accused Santos of rape in 2014 had posted a Craigslist ad, offering sexual services out of her hotel room. Santos, using the name “Frank Smith,” contacted her and booked an appointment in the early morning hours of Sept. 1, 2014, court documents state.

The man who appeared at the hotel room was in a Guam Police Department uniform, and the woman said that he forced her to perform sexual acts. Surveillance footage placed Santos at the hotel the time of the incident, and a condom found in the trash can in the room tested positive for his DNA, according to testimony.

When the FBI interviewed Santos about the woman’s accusations, he first denied any involvement, then later claimed he was working on a prostitution sting, court documents state. He changed his story again and admitted to having sex with the woman and told authorities he did not pay her, documents state.

Santos did not take the stand during trial.

During closing arguments, prosecutor Matthew Heibel said Santos used his uniform and his power as an officer to get what he wanted from the woman.

Heibel said the woman who accused Santos of rape was putting herself out there for a reason. “Why would she do that unless something happened to her, something so serious she was willing to risk her own liability?” Heibel asked.

Santos’ attorney, F. Randall Cunliffe, told jurors that the woman accusing Santos used her sexual wiles and her sexuality to avoid being arrested for prostitution. Cunliffe said she was the aggressor.

While Santos was found guilty of multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct, the jury acquitted him of a handful of other criminal sexual conduct charges.

Cunliffe asked Judge Vernon Perez to release Santos on bail until he is sentenced, which Heibel opposed.

Perez ordered Santos to remain on house arrest. Unless he is meeting his lawyer, checking into probation or has a medical emergency he must remain at his home, Perez said. He also must stay away from witnesses in the case.

Sentencing is scheduled for April 13, 2017.

Santos showed little emotion as the verdict for each charge was read aloud.

He was released in October 2014 on $25,000 personal recognizance bond, court records show.

Santos initially was charged with three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct as a first-degree felony, two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct as a first-degree felony, one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct as a second-degree felony, two counts of official misconduct and one count of abetting prostitution.

Last week, Perez acquitted Santos of the two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, which involved the touching of the woman’s breast and buttocks with force.

The judge said he believed the jury wouldn`t be able to reach a decision on the charges based on the evidence presented in the trial.
