Army Sgt. Alberto Silva-Sadder was found guilty of multiple charges by a Fort Carson court-martial Friday and sentenced to 35 years in military prison.

According to Maj. Earl Brown, spokesman for Fort Carson's 4th Infantry Division, Silva-Sadder will get a dishonorable discharge when he's served his time.

Silva-Sadder, who was assigned to the post's 10th Combat Support Hospital, was accused by four women in the past three years of sexual misconduct.

After a weeklong trial, a panel of seven Army officers convicted Silva-Sadder on 21 charges, including two counts of aggravated sexual assault, three counts of forcible sodomy, two counts of possession of child pornography and a kidnapping charge.
