SANTA ANA Calif. (AP) — A California sex offender was sentenced to death on Friday for kidnapping and murdering four women during a six-month span in Orange County.

加利福尼亞州 聖安娜市（美聯社）一位加利福尼亞的性侵者在週五被判處死刑，因其在六個月的時間裏於奧蘭治縣綁架並謀殺了四位女性。

Steven Dean Gordon who was convicted last year of killing the women in 2012 and 2013 was sentenced in Superior Court in Santa Ana the Orange County Register reported ( ).

史蒂芬.迪恩.戈登因在2012年和2013年殺害多名女性而在去年被聖安娜高等法院宣佈有罪。

Some of the killings took place while the now-48-year-old was being tracked via a GPS monitoring device.

現年48歲的戈登在進行一些犯罪行爲時，其正處於GPS監視裝置的跟蹤下。

California has hundreds of inmates on the nation's largest death row but the state hasn't executed anyone since 2006. Voters last year approved a proposition aimed at expediting appeals so killers are put to death but a lawsuit challenging the measure has placed its implementation on hold.

在加利福尼亞州那個全國最大的死囚區關押着數百名囚犯。但該州自2006以來沒有再處死任何人。去年選民們通過一項提議，旨在加快上訴進程令兇手得以繩之於法，但一樁挑戰該措施的訴訟案已令其擱置實施。

Authorities say Gordon and another sex offender Franc Cano abducted four women with ties to prostitution and had sex with their victims before killing them.

當局說，戈登和另一名強姦犯Cano綁架了四名賣淫婦女，並且先奸後殺。
