Andrew Adams reportingA man who added to the notorious reputation of "rape hill" at Brigham Young University is set to go free this spring.

The recommendation to the parole board is that Luis Alonso Rivera be released in May. But the minute he sets foot outside prison, he'll be deported. The Deseret Morning News reports he's from Honduras.

An especially heinous crime landed Rivera behind bars. In November of 1997, he raped a BYU student at knife-point behind some bushes on the south hill of campus. He also was convicted of trying to abduct two women after that attack.

Rivera says he has no plans to return to the U.S.
