Rapist gets life sentence in Seattle for murder

SEATTLE — A rapist already sentenced to life in prison has received another life term, without parole, in Seattle for murder.

KOMO radio reports Curtis Thompson was removed from the courtroom today for an outburst at his sentencing. He said he’s the victim, and the state provoked any monster in him.

The 45-year-old was convicted last month in King County Superior Court of stabbing a woman to death during a sexual attack.

It was the third conviction for Thompson for a crime spree in August 2004 that included rape and assaults.

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