Convicted Rapist Sentenced to 90 Years in 1999 Case

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): It's 90 years in prison for a Fort Wayne rapist.

37 year old Roger Carlson raped a Fort Wayne woman in an Allen County cornfield in 1999. He was finally charged in March after DNA evidence was tested that linked him to the rape. He was already serving time in the Indiana Department of Correction and the DNA evidence matched the DNA collected when he went to prison on an unrelated crime. 

A judge sentenced him to 90 years total Thursday morning on charges of rape, criminal confinement, and two counts of criminal deviate conduct.
