A 33-year-old Fresno man was sentenced to 30-years-to-life in prison for sexually assaulting multiple victims in 2016.
On April 20, a jury found Nicholas Lusk guilty of four counts of sexual assault, including rape of an unconscious person, sexual penetration by force, sodomy by use of force and rape.
