Arthur Edward Lindsey

After a little more than an hour of deliberation, an Antelope Valley jury Friday found an Acton man guilty of raping a 29-year-old Acton woman in 2013.

Jurors began deliberations Friday afternoon and reached a verdict by Monday morning; however, Lindsey missed two court dates due to medical reasons.

Arthur Lindsey, 74, faces more than 100 years in prison when he’s sentenced next month, according to Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami, who is in charge of the case’s prosecution.

He was found guilty on nine of 10 counts, Hatami said, and he’s due back April 9 for sentencing.

The three-week trial heard evidence about 10 charges facing Lindsey —  ten charges — two felony counts of rape of an unconscious person, one felony count of oral copulations of an unconscious person, two felony counts of sexual penetration by foreign object, one misdemeanor count of resist, obstruct, delay of peace officer or EMT, one felony count of possession of firearm by a felon with three priors, two felony counts of rape by use of drugs and one felony counts of oral copulation by anesthesia or controlled substance, according to court documents.

The victim’s blood-alcohol level registered at 0.20 several hours after the crime, and on the stand, she testified she did not remember anything after taking pills LIndsey gave her, which she thought were valium.

KHTS AM-1220 is not revealing her identity.

LIndsey’s crimes were uncovered when a parole officer made an unannounced visit to his trailer.

The officer found the alleged victim unconscious in Lindsey’s trailer. The officer left, called for backup and returned, while the victim was still unconscious, according to court testimony.

An Indiana official questioned whether Lindsey technically should have been on parole, due to Indiana state law.

Lindsey had a previous conviction for the rape and murder of an Indiana, for which he was sentenced to life in prison March 3, 1965.

He was paroled for the 1964 crimes in 1998 after serving 33 years in prison, and then moved to California and resumed criminal activity, according to court records.

He then ran afoul of the law again, accused of several other charges.

“It looks like there were three charges for failure to register (as a sex offender in California),” Leffler said, noting Lindsey also was arrested by federal authorities in San Diego for “trying to smuggle illegal aliens.”

The human trafficking charges were not pursued, Leffler said, but Lindsey ended up receiving a six-year sentence for a June 2005 conviction of failing to register as a sex offender.

After his 2011 release from a California state prison, Indiana state law now calls for a revocation of his parole, Leffler said, mentioning the outstanding arrest warrant.

“He has to remain under supervision, basically, until he dies,” he explained, adding Lindsey’s conviction predated two separate overhauls of Indiana state law — once in 1977, and then again last year.

Indiana Department of Corrections officials evaluated Lindsey in 2011, Leffler said, spending roughly $2,000 to fly him out for a parole board hearing.

But Lindsey was released under what Indiana correctional officials refer to as “the old code,” he said.

“He probably was brought back and spent some time here and then released again in 2011,” Leffler said.

He could still face an Indiana Parole Board if he’s convicted of his current charges, Leffler said.
