Serial Rapist Gets 149 Years In Prison, Blames Victims For Crime: "They Took Advantage Of Me"

A 20-year-old man in Sacramento was sentenced to over 149 years in prison for raping two women at gun point, although the crime is shocking, what the man had to say to the victims left the courtroom in disbelief.

According toSacramento’s CBS 13, convicted serial rapist Sammie Lee Nichols took his opportunity that was intended to serve as time to apologize the victims for his actions, to blame them for “taking advantage of him”.

“I told my lawyer I didn’t rape those women,” Nichols said. “Was I wrong for misleading them into thinking we would have a relationship and getting money, yes; but I am not a rapist.”

Although Nichols states that both relationships were consensual, the women claim different, claiming that he hid in their garages and closets before attacking them at gun point.

“I didn’t believe in the death penalty or carrying a gun, until now,” one victim said.

Nichols, who has never been in trouble prior to these incidents, was sentenced to over 149 years in prison after the judge ruled him a danger to society.

Although both the defense and the judge tried to give Nichols leniency due to abuse by his mother and growing up in foster care, it ultimately was Nichol’s callus behavior that ensured he would spend the rest of his life behind bars.
