A man called the "handcuff rapist" was given a life sentence plus 2,715 years by a judge who said no one could measure the victims' misery.
Robert Biddings, 35, pleaded guilty Wednesday to 71 charges of rape, kidnapping and robbery, as well as 40 similar charges for which he was convicted in a jury trial last week.He gave up his right to appeal with the guilty pleas.
"The bottom line is he's going away for a long time," said Franklin County Prosecutor Michael Miller.
Biddings is not expected to be eligible for parole for at least 40 years.
In sentencing Biddings, Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Dana Deshler said he would make no attempt to lecture him, adding:
"Obviously no one will ever be able to measure the amount of human misery visited upon these women and girls in terms of terror, physical harm, humiliation. No one will ever be able to measure that.
"I would say to Mr. Biddings (that) . . . by his conduct over a period of years it's my view . . . that he has forfeited his right to live in a free and civilized society."
Public defender James Kura said it was Biddings' decision to plead guilty and avoid a second trial.
Biddings said nothing in court, but in an interview later with WBNS-TV he linked his decision to evidence presented at his first trial.
"The whole thing was a setup . . . I would have had no chance in the second trial," he said. "I feel sorry for . . . what happened to (the victims)."
One victim in the courtroom characterized Biddings as a "disgusting dog" who should have been subject to the death penalty.
"I almost died. He doesn't deserve to live," the woman told reporters.
Deshler sentenced Biddings to 15 to 25 years in prison on most of the charges, but he received a mandatory life sentence because one of the victims was under 13 years old when she was raped.
