An Asian has been found guilty of sexually assaulting and murdering a white man

A former medical student accused of drugging and sexually assaulting an Orange County sportswear employee and dumping his body in a City Heights alley has been found guilty of first-degree murder and other charges. It took a jury less than three hours to convict Philong Huynh, 40, in the January 2008 death of Dane Williams, 23. The panel also found special-circumstance allegations of sodomy and oral copulation to be true, meaning Huynh will be sentenced to life in prison without parole. Huynh has also been convicted of the sodomy and oral copulation of an intoxicated person in connection with the June 2009 assault of a then-20-year-old sailor. Prosecutors argued during the trial that Huynh had a history of drugging and sexually assaulting young men while posing as a single heterosexual man. The ruse allowed him to prey on young straight men, whom he would befriend then slip drugs into their drinks.
