LOS ANGELES — A man was sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison for sexually assaulting an 80-year-old woman in her Hollywood apartment, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.
Marcus Datwione Peete pleaded no contest to sexual penetration by an unknown object and admitted the special allegations that the crime was committed during the commission of a burglary and he inflicted great bodily injury.
According to court testimony, Peete forced his way into the victim’s home on June 18, 2016, after she answered the front door, then pushed her into a bedroom and began beating her. He punched her multiple times in the face and sexually assaulted her before fleeing.
Peete was arrested the next day near Crenshaw and Olympic boulevards.
