A former psychology professor, 41 year old Norma Patricia Esparza, was sentenced to six years in prison on Friday for the 1995 murder of the man she says raped her when she was a college student in California.

Ramirez's body was found by the road in Orange County.

Esparza moved to France, received a doctorate in psychology and worked as a consultant for the World Health Organization and as a professor in Switzerland.
