Serial Rapist Gets Up to 80 Years in Prison

A serial rapist who violently attacked women at gunpoint in the Frankford neighborhood in August 2008 was sentenced to 40 to 80 years in prison Friday.

Dorrell Shaw, 27, was convicted of raping two women, ages 16 and 21, who were walking on the street at separate times.  Shaw broke into another woman’s home and raped her while her children were upstairs.

DNA evidence linked Shaw to each rape, said police.

The 21-year-old victim spoke out in court Friday, saying that Shaw’s violence has changed her life for the worse, reports KYW1060.com. The victim said that she has suffered from nightmares, sleeplessness and fear to go out at night.

"It seems like he was leading up to a possible murder of some sort,” the woman said after the sentencing.  “Every case got worse and worse, and being my case was mostly the first case, then that is what I had to worry about. So I am not completely worried about myself. I am more worried about everybody else. I don't want somebody to get murdered by somebody who should be in jail."
