Lazy Rapist

A Florida man is being held without bond accused of raping wheelchair-bound woman many times over the past year. According to reports, the Clay County Sheriff's Office said they began to investigate after a woman in her 20's told investigators Raymond Betros had repeatedly sexually attacked her and threatened to choke her if she told anyone.

28-year-old Betros was arrested and charged with sexual battery on a disabled person. He was booked into the Clay County Jail. Officials there said Betros was accused of a similar crime involving sexual activity with a disabled woman in 2002. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and served six months in jail and was not required to be listed with the state's sex offender registry.

"It would have been nicer to have a sex offender status on the defendant," Clay County Detective Andrew Bowman said. Authorities said if he is convicted of the new, first-degree felony charge, he could spend up to 30 years in prison.
