A 50-year-old woman, appearing in court to contest her attacker's request for a reduced sentence, offered a graphic account of her ordeal three decades ago.
A judge at D.C. Superior Court was overcome by the story of a woman who was raped 30 years ago by a man now seeking to reduce his sentence. Two women who were abducted in D.C. and repeatedly raped in 1992 angrily faced one of their long-imprisoned attackers Thursday at a court hearing so charged with emotion that a judge, tearful on the bench, paused the proceeding and turned her back to the courtroom, struggling to regain her composure.
Haggins and his accomplice, Richard Settles, then 19, abducted the women from a car outside a D.C. music club, according to authorities and the victims. The two were raped repeatedly outdoors, on winter-cold pavement, and again overnight in a Maryland motel. Before being let go, they were forced to dig graves for themselves. Settles, convicted by a jury, was sentenced to 99 years in prison.
If Haggins is released from his D.C. prison term , he still is facing a sentence of 30 years to life in Maryland in a separate case. But his attorney said Haggins would apply for similar relief in Maryland under that state’s IRAA-like law.
