加利福尼亚州 圣安娜市（美联社）一位加利福尼亚的性侵者在周五被判处死刑，因其在六个月的时间里于奥兰治县绑架并谋杀了四位女性。

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年杀害多名女性而在去年被圣安娜高等法院宣布有罪。

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

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.

在加利福尼亚州那个全国最大的死囚区关押着数百名囚犯。但该州自2006以来没有再处死任何人。去年选民们通过一项提议，旨在加快上诉进程令凶手得以绳之于法，但一桩挑战该措施的诉讼案已令其搁置实施。

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.

当局说，戈登和另一名强奸犯Cano绑架了四名卖淫妇女，并且先奸后杀。
