Toronto man who raped elderly woman gets life sentence

A Toronto man who terrorized and raped a 76 year old woman has been sentenced to life in prison.

The judge handed the harsh sentence to first time offender Michael Anderson, while calling the crime “bizarre”, “shocking” and “chilling”

Anderson broke into the home of the woman, a Russian immigrant, on October 15th 2005, and threatened to kill her if she did not have sex with him.

The woman was raped and stabbed several times throughout the hour long ordeal.

Anderson, who is now in his mid 30’s, was convicted of break and enter, aggravated sexual assault with a weapon, and attempted murder.

He is appealing the verdict.
