Illinois man sentenced to 100 years of imprisonment for sexual assault of 85-year-old woman

Xinhua, April 29, 2017 Adjust font size:

A young man of Illinois convicted of sexually assaulting and robbing an 85-year-old widow has been sentenced to 100 years in prison, local media reported on Friday.

Another hearing is scheduled next Thursday for any additional motions from defense attorneys of Tevin Rainey, the 23-year-old criminal. If not, the hearing will end his case, Chicago Tribune reported.

Rainey had been found guilty of breaking into the old woman's apartment on New Year's Day of 2015 in Westmont, some 40 kilometer west of Chicago. He sexually assaulted her at gunpoint and later forced her to drive to an ATM and withdraw money.

He was sentenced to 60 years for aggravated criminal sexual assault, and then 40 years for armed robbery with a firearm, which means he will spend the rest of his life behind the bar. Enditem
