Robert Charles Lee has a lot of time on his hands to think about the crimes for which he was convicted. Lee, 42, received a sentence today of 764 years and eight months in prison, according to the District Attorney's office.
Lee was convicted late last month on 36 counts, including nine counts of forcible rape and 13 counts of forcible oral copulation, for the sexual assaults of 10 women in L.A. and Orange counties between 1997 and 2006.
The victims ranged in age from 32 to 80 years old, but Lee tended to prefer to assault women who were elderly or disabled. He attacked many of them in their own homes, and sexually assaulted many at knifepoint.
Lee was arrested in June 2006. A DNA sample connected him to other assaults, for a total of 10.
