FORT WORTH (AP) ― An Arlington man who pleaded guilty to the 2006 rape of a 79-year-old woman during a break-in has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Prosecutors say 34-year-old Brad Beavers could have received life in prison under a Texas law that makes it a first-degree felony to commit crimes against people age 65 or older.

Beavers accepted the 20-year plea agreement Tuesday, the same day he faced trial on the aggravated sexual assault charge.

Investigators say the victim, who is now 82, was asleep when Beavers broke into her Arlington home and attempted to rob her, then raped her when she said she didn't have any money.

DNA results from a national database matched Beavers in January 2009. His DNA had been entered into the system when he was in prison for assaulting a relative.

Although this crime is quite despicable and the man is moste sure deserving of his penalties, plus more, I find the bloodlust in this thread and in general a bit disturbing. So some of you in would commit a cold blooded murder to satisfy this bloodlust? I'm sure you are just saying it as an exaggeration of your sentiments to show your disgust, but all the same, it seems way over the top. Rape is a disgusting and horrible crime, but it's not worthy of a death sentence.

It seems a common theme when a brutal crime is posted, as if only by expressing one's desire for personal vengeance can one express one's disgust at the crime. I find that very odd - and a little disturbing myself.

Thinning the herd is a necessary beast that we should do more often actually if someone is inherently guilty beyond any reasonable doubt.

Do you honestly believe the death penalty has anything at all to do with 'thinning the herd'?

i'd suggest a .40 s&w sjhp.

I take it you've never been a victim of rape. Although I do not support a death sentence either, I am sure many other victims would, unless like me, they were able to forgive.

I'm just saying if it were utilized more often and we stopped letting scum back out on the streets after ####### like this, we'd be better off.

i'd bet rape victims would disagree.

I don't know... he might have a pretty thick skull... maybe a 45 would be required...

Also, to address a post above about blood lust. You miss understand this has nothing to do with blood lust or even 'thinning the herd'

The major issue here is: can this person be repaired? I, and others it seems, do not believe that this person can be fixed, so that this kind of infraction is not repeated.

If an animal goes mad you shoot it. You do not lock it up. When a person breaks and is not repairable, its mercy to both them and society, to end the matter.
