A man convicted of several rapes throughout Colorado and Kansas has been sentenced to 136 years in prison by an Arapahoe County judge, the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office announced.
Tre Carrasco, 26, was found guilty of raping a woman in Cherry Hills Village and attempting to kidnap a woman in Aurora. Just before these attacks, Carrasco had fled to Colorado because he was accused of sexual assault in Kansas days after being released
from prison for another sexual assault, officials said.
“I am fully convinced, 100%, that there is no woman safe in America if you are out of prison,” Judge Ben Leutwyler told Carrasco at the sentencing. “You will continue to rape people … nothing will stand in the way except the government.
“You are a threat to every female in our country. I must do what I can to promote community safety.”
Carrasco was sentenced after a jury convicted him on charges including sexual assault with a deadly weapon, second-degree kidnapping, burglary, aggravated robbery, aggravated motor vehicle theft and criminal trespass.
On Feb. 7, 2019, Carrasco tried to kidnap a woman in the parking lot of a fitness club in Aurora, officials said. The woman got away, but Carrasco was able to steal her car.
On Feb. 12, 2019, Carrasco drove the stolen car to a home in Cherry Hills Village where he raped a different woman at knifepoint, authorities said. He was arrested hours later in the stolen car in Aurora.
“This sentence will keep a dangerous predator off the streets and in prison, where he belongs,” District Attorney John Kellner said. “Perhaps his victims can take a small measure of comfort in knowing that their cooperation and testimony has led to
this result.”
