  Psycho-rapist gets life in prison
  March 24, 3:05 PM

  Curtis Thompson, the serial-rapist who went on a 2004 crime-spree that left three women battered and one dead, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Tuesday in King County Superior Court.

  Thompson was convicted of raping and torturing an Eastlake woman in 2004 and assaulting two women at a U-District apartment building.

  Thompson broke into the Eastlake woman's apartment and proceeded to rape and torture her for hours before dousing her in bleach and fleeing.

  You may remember that Thompson was released from prison in 2002 after serving 18 years of a 25-year sentence. The state wanted to keep him locked up, but a jury ruled that he was to be released. It's good to know that this time he has no choice but to rot in prison like the psycho scum that he is.

  Thompson is still waiting to be tried for the murder of a Ravenna-resident that same year.

  No-parole life term for Seattle-area serial rapist Mar 24, 2009 10:29 AM

  SEATTLE - A serial rapist was sentenced Tuesday in Seattle to life in prison without parole for another rape conviction and assaults on two women.

  During the proceedings, 43-year-old Curtis Thompson was removed from the courtroom after he repeatedly accused prosecutors of misconduct.

  Thompson was convicted last month of raping a woman in 2004, pouring bleach on her body to try to destroy evidence. He also was convicted of assaulting two women in an apartment building.

  In addition, he faces a murder trial for the stabbing of 45-year-old Deborah s. Byars with a screwdriver in 2004.

  Thompson spent time in prison for four rapes, but in 2003 a jury in Seattle declined to commit him to indefinite confinement as a sex predator. He said religion had transformed his life.

  So do you think he'll make elder now?

  Seattle's Brother Curtis Thompson sentenced to LIFE in PRISON for rapes

  ...

  ...where he will have an endless supply of captive victims and staff, and will continue to perpetrate his crimes for the rest of his days.

  ...where he will have three hots and a cot and medical care for the rest of his days, at great expense to the taxpayers.

  And they all lived happily ever after. The End.

  Violent serial rapist goes off at sentencing

  SEATTLE – Serial rapist Curtis Thompson is going to prison for the rest of his life for raping a Seattle woman and assaulting two women in Seattle’s University District in August 2004.

  Thompson went into a verbal rage in court Tuesday. He was yelling and swearing, but could not lash out physically. Due to his potentially violent nature, he was restrained in a chair. He was eventually wheeled out of the courtroom.

  Thompson insisted that he be allowed to present motions to have his convictions overturned due to improper conduct. He accused the prosecution of withholding and fabricating evidence and presenting perjured testimony.

  “These state (expletive) idiots aren’t representing me properly,” said Thompson.

  That’s when the judge ordered him wheeled out of the courtroom. Thompson continued his profanity-laced objection all the way to the door.

  After Thompson was out of the courtroom, the woman he raped spoke about how she is still traumatized.

  “I suffered through many sleepless and angry nights. I couldn't return to work for months. This had an effect on every aspect of my life, physical, emotional, financial and in my relationships with others,” said the woman, who KING 5 News is not identifying.

  The judge sentenced Thompson to life in prison without parole.

  During the rape trial last month, Thompson, 49, testified that he was a victim, oppressed by the government.

  He was convicted in October 2008 for the attack two women in an elevator in the University District. The women escaped when someone hearing their screams pried open the elevator door.

  Thompson is considered so potentially violent, he was strapped into a chair during both trials. He reportedly lunged at his attorney in the most recent trial.

  Thompson is set to be tried next month for the murder of Deborah S. Byers in her Seattle apartment, which also happened in August 2004.

  Angry serial rapist gets another life sentence

  By KOMO Staff

  SEATTLE -- Amid yet another courtroom outburst, a man who has a long history of violent crimes was handed another life sentence Tuesday.

  Curtis Thompson, a convicted serial rapist and Level 3 sex offender, was sentenced to life in prison for the August 2004 rape of a Seattle woman.

  Last month a jury took just a few hours to find Thompson guilty of auto theft, burglary and first-degree rape for breaking into the woman's apartment in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood, then raping her. After the assault, court documents state, Thompson doused the victim with bleach to destroy DNA evidence.

  That victim was in court Tuesday to make her case to the judge.

  "He proceeded to rape and torture me for two hours," the victim said. "He has a history of these rapes and burglaries; he was not rehabilitated and saved by God as he claimed. He should be sentenced to maximum life in prison without parole."

  The judge agreed. But Thompson, whose previous courtroom outbursts forced deputies to strap him to a chair during hearings, wasn't there to hear those words Tuesday as had to be forcibly removed again after another series of rants.

  "These state (expletive) idiots are not representing me properly," he shouted. "So I will not deal with these clowns."

  Thompson was also sentenced to life in prison last fall for a sexually-motivated assault of two college students at an apartment complex in the University District in 2004.

  He previously served 18 years in prison for raping four women in 1985. Prosecutors tried to have him committed as a sexually violent predator after his prison term ended in 2003 - a psychologist had called him a sexual sadist - but a jury rejected the argument.

  Thompson still must stand trial for the alleged murder of a disabled woman. In 2006 he was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Deborah S. Byars in Seattle. DNA found under Byars' fingernails were a match for Thompson, detectives said.

  The way Byars was killed - stabbed through a pillow that had been placed on the back of her neck - matched the way Thompson raped his victims in 1985, investigators said.

  Her sister says she will be there in court on her behalf.

  "My sister can't be here because he took that away from us," Nancy Newhall said. "He doesn't know who I am yet, but he will."

  That trial will begin on April 20.

  Life Sentence For Seattle Man Convicted Of '04 Rape

  Posted: 9:52 am PDT March 24, 2009
  Updated: 2:07 pm PDT March 24, 2009

  SEATTLE -- A judge handed down multiple life sentences Tuesday to a Seattle man convicted of raping an Eastlake woman during a brutal crime spree in the summer of 2004.

  Curtis Thompson, who called the sentencing hearing "kangaroo proceedings" was removed from the courtroom before the victim read a statement to the judge.

  "I object to this sentence being imposed at this time, due to no hearing on my motions for a new trial, and for prosecution misconduct," said Thompson, who was convicted last month on 13 criniinal counts in connection with the rape on Aug. 17, 2004.

  Tompson, 43, refused to let the proceeding go on until his motions for a new trial were heard. Strapped to a wheeled cart, Thompson was taken away, and the victim addressed the court.

  "That morning at 2 a.m, I was awoken by Curtis Thompson covering my face and mouth and suffocating me. He proceeded to rape and torture me for two hours," the victim said.

  She said Thompson rubbed bleach into her body to try and destroy DNA evidence and that suffered burns and severe emotional trauma.

  "He may try to play the role of victim today, as he did in the trial, but he is not the victim. I was the victim that night," she told the court. "He should be sentenced to the maximum life in prison without parole."

  Thompson was shackled and strapped down during the trial because of his history of threats and courtroom outbursts.

  He was found guilty last October of assaulting two women near the University of Washington a week after the woman's rape.

  The Seattle man is also accused of fatally stabbing a woman in the back of the head with a screwdriver in August 2004. Opening arguments for that trial are scheduled for early May.

  Nope, he deserves the death penalty. Geez, what does it take? This is'nt his first go-round in prison for rape, then he got out and promptly killed someone.

  What amazed me was that under Washington State law, the maximum penalty he can get for the murder is 50 years.

  He should be used as an experiment in AC impedance or testing the tensile strength of one-inch manila rope, or the ballistic patterning properties of multiple .308 rounds, or the physiologic effects of ricin.
