A judge sentenced a man to two lengthy prison terms.

For Immediate Release, February 10, 2025

WICHITA, KAN. – A man sentenced to a life prison term in 2023 was given another long sentence last Friday in 22CR1694. Sedgwick County District Judge Bruce Brown sentenced Gerardo Aguero-Hernandez, 31 of Wichita, to 1,367 months in prison for the crimes of kidnapping, and rape, following a July 2018 attack in Wichita. A woman in her 50’s was pulled into a car while she was walking from a gas station. A jury found Aguero-Hernandez guilty last June.

The sentence was ordered to run consecutive to the previous sentence imposed in September of 2023 by Judge Brown. In that case, 20CR1217, Mr. Aguero-Hernandez was found guilty of aggravated kidnapping, rape, aggravated battery for the 2020 kidnap and rape of a girl who had run away from a foster home. In that matter, Judge Brown sentenced Aguero-Hernandez to life without parole eligibility for 25 years plus an additional 184 months.

Between the two cases, Aguero-Hernandez has now been sentenced to serve not less than 25 +15 years (20CR1217) followed by 1,367 months (113 years) = approximately 153 years.
