 NEW YORK (AP) - A former Olympic sprinter has been sentenced to
21 years in prison after pleading guilty to raping a woman in a New
York park.
Prosecutors say 31-year-old Alvin Henry was dubbed the Lover's
Lane Rapist for secretly recording a woman having sex in the park
with her boyfriend. They say he followed the woman and threatened
to show the video unless she had sex with him.
Henry was charged with attacking women in parks in Brooklyn and
Queens. He pleaded guilty to a June 2007 attack on Wednesday.
Henry was a member of Trinidad and Tobago's 400-meter relay team
in the 2000 Olympics.
A defense lawyer says Henry got caught up in a lot of things
after someone introduced him to cocaine to give him an edge while
training.
