A 34-year-old Queens man has been sentenced to 100 years in prison following his conviction on first-degree rape and other charges for the gunpoint sexual assault of two women inside of his car on two consecutive days.
According to the District Attorney, the defendant as Leaman King, 34, of 175-02 139 Road.
King was convicted earlier this month of two counts each of first-degree rape, first-degree criminal sexual assault, second-degree kidnapping, and second and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon following a jury trial before Queens Supreme Court Justice Deborah Stevens Modica, who today sentenced the defendant to consecutive sentences totaling 100 years in prison.
