Arthur Edward Lindsey

An Acton man found guilty of raping a 29-year-old Acton woman in 2013 has been sentenced to 102.4 years in prison, officials said Thursday.

Arthur Lindsey, 74, was found guilty of 9 out of 10 charges against him in February, said Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami.

“I am very pleased with the verdict and the sentence,” Hatami said. “The jury did a very good job. The victim has finally received justice and Defendant Lindsey will not be able to hurt or victimize another young woman again.”

Earlier story:

Jurors began deliberations the afternoon of Jan. 30 and reached a verdict by the morning of Feb. 2; however, Arthur Lindsey, missed two court dates due to medical reasons.

He was found guilty on nine of 10 counts, Hatami said.

The three-week trial heard evidence about 10 charges facing Lindsey — 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.
