OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – The latest in the sentencing of a former Oklahoma City officer convicted of rape and sex assaults (all times local):
2:15 p.m.
A judge says a former police officer convicted of raping and sexually victimizing women while on his beat in a low-income Oklahoma City neighborhood should spend the rest of his life in prison.
Jurors last month convicted 29-year-old Daniel Holtzclaw on four first-degree rape counts and 14 other charges, and recommended he spend 263 years in prison. The judge agreed Thursday and said Holtzclaw will serve those years consecutively.
Prosecutors said Holtzclaw, who is half-white and half-Japanese, targeted black women while on patrol.
