A convicted rapist sentenced to three life terms plus 51 years in prison has been arrested in Sacramento County for a parole violation, four years after his release.
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said 47-year-old Lloyd Edwards was detained Thursday during a parole compliance check by the office’s Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Task Force Team.
Sac County sheriff offers few details on arrest of convicted rapist – KCRA
Umm can someone explain to me like I’m 5 why this guy was paroled? Let’s just say a “life” term is 25 years, this guy was sentenced to 200 years in prison, yet was paroled in 4?
A search of his residence found multiple substances in violation of his parole conditions, the sheriff’s office said. Details about the specific substances were not released. The sheriff’s office said “prohibited substances can be something along the lines of alcohol, prescription medication, etc.”
I guess he never learned his lesson. Again, why was he paroled?
More disturbing info, Sheriff Cooper had no idea this loser was living in his county.
Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper said he recently learned Edwards was living in his county. Cooper announced the arrest after sharing a post hours earlier on social media that criticized the state’s parole board.
Even more disturbing, his criminal history.
Edwards was convicted of three kidnappings, a rape, two sexual assaults and three robberies with weapon enhancements in connection with attacks on three women in Chico in 2000 when he was 21 years old, the Butte County District Attorney’s Office said.
- In August 2000, Edwards was given a ride by two women after he claimed his vehicle broke down. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said he pulled a gun on them and held one woman around the neck and told them to go to a secluded area. One woman was left beside a rural road and he sexually assaulted and raped the other one at gunpoint, according to the sheriff’s office. He later stole their purses and the driver’s rings. DNA testing later matched Edwards to evidence in the recovered car, the sheriff’s office said.
- Weeks later, Edwards asked another woman to use her telephone and entered her apartment. The sheriff’s office said he attempted to sexually assault the woman by forcing her into a bedroom, threatened her with a razor blade, punched her in the mouth and strangled her until she had trouble breathing.
Edwards was reportedly not eligible for parole until he was 95. But he was released after he was granted parole in 2022 by California’s Board of Parole.
Umm. Yikes. But thank you Sheriff Cooper, he is a guy this blog supports.
