Man Gets 965 Years For Sex Assaults On Disabled
RIVERSIDE A Mead Valley man who sexually assaulted at least nine women he brought to his home and kept some of them tied up as sex slaves, was sentenced Friday to 965 years in prison.
The district attorney said all of Peter Frances Milosavjevic's victims were mentally impaired.
Between 2001 and 2005, Milosavjevic, 57, brought at least nine women to his Rios Road duplex, according to trial testimony.
The victims, who he met cruising the streets, were offered shelter in exchange for housework and sexual favors. Most of the women, whose ages ranged from 30 to 59, were developmentally disabled and homeless, and some had worked as prostitutes.
Authorities used photographs the defendant -- who lived next door to his mother in the duplex, had taken to identify his victims.
"I doubt I'll ever see a case as despicable as this one in the years to
come," said Riverside Superior Court Judge Mac Fisher as he announced his sentence.
Fisher addes, "This sentence is appropriate for the destruction you have caused the victims."
A Riverside woman testified that Milosavjevic tied her to his bed and violated her with a vibrator coated with a burning substance that caused intense pain.
Investigators said he also used drugs and alcohol to subdue some of his
victims.
Another woman testified during the trial that Milosavjevic promised he would kill her and her family if she left him.
She was repeatedly raped, sodomized and forced to give oral sex during her six-month ordeal, said Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Chirco.
Some of the women were freed after Milosavjevic tired of them, while
others found ways to escape, she said.
Milosavjevic testified the women were his lovers. He said he felt sorry for them and took them home to get them off the streets.
His attorney, Chris Jensen, said in October that Milosavjevic operates
on the "same mental plane as the mentally challenged women who testified
against him."
Milosavjevic had previous convictions in 1983 and 1995 for assaulting women. One of his victims was raped and beaten so badly she was in a coma for several days.
