California IN BRIEF : SANTA ANA : Rapist Given 142 Years in Prison

A convicted rapist was sentenced to more than 142 years in prison--the longest sentence of its kind ever handed down in Orange County--for a series of sexual assaults involving 15 women in Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley. Robin Scott Dasenbrock, 26, a warehouse worker from Fountain Valley, would be 94 when first eligible for parole if the sentence is upheld on appeal. Dasenbrock was convicted of attacking 15 women between November, 1985, and April, 1987. Most of the victims were attacked at knifepoint while asleep in first-floor apartments. They included one woman raped by Dasenbrock twice--in incidents more than a year apart--and one woman sexually assaulted on Christmas Day.
