Prosecutors seek 23 life sentences for serial rapist
The Associated Press | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 years, 10 months AGO
BILLINGS — Prosecutors are recommending 23 consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole for a man they called a “sadistic stalker” who was convicted of 10 counts of rape in Billings.
Toby Eugene Griego, 42, is scheduled to be sentenced today by District Judge Russell Fagg. Griego was convicted in April of breaking into the homes of four women last year, repeatedly raping three of them and trying to rape the fourth.
Chief Deputy Yellowstone County Attorney Rod Souza’s sentencing memorandum, filed Wednesday, says a doctor found Griego had anti-social personality disorder and should be designed a Level 3 sexually violent predator, meaning he is highly likely to reoffend.
Defense attorney J. Thomas Bartleson had not filed a sentencing recommendation by Thursday morning.
