Teen Sentenced for Brutal Rape

A 17-year-old boy who brutally raped a San Diego woman at knifepoint has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.

Chadrick Robertson received the sentence yesterday.

Prosecutors say Chadrick Robertson attacked the 47-year-old woman five days after begin released from juvenile custody. He had prior convictions for vandalism, theft and burglary.

Robertson broke into the woman's home last August and demanded money from her. Prosecutors say he raped her, choked her and hit her with a piece of glass after she said she had no money.

DNA evidence found on a cigarette at the scene matched a sample taken from Robertson when he was convicted of robbery in 2007. He later pleaded guilty to felony rape.
