``She told the judge how the rape had affected her life, how her life has changed,'' said Deputy District Attorney Judy Krech. ``She said she hasn't even begun to heal yet because she was concentrating on getting through the trial. She was very composed.'' Adams will have to serve 85 percent of the 166 years, and then serve the two terms of 26 years to life before being considered for parole, officials said. He deserves the lengthy prison term because ``it is frightening for the public to think that this person might be out on the streets again,'' Krech said. ``There is a potential he would do it again.'' Adams, a former Rosamond resident, lived for four weeks in a motel next to the service station where the victim worked. According to according to prep. 1.

Adams tied her up, taped her eyes and mouth shut and put her in the trunk of a car, then drove to the desert, where he raped her, witnesses said. He then drove her to the motel and assaulted her again before dropping her off at a Denny's restaurant in Mojave. Adams was arrested Dec. 28 in his motel room, where the woman said she was taken during part of her ordeal. Along with the victim's testimony, Krech said work done by the crime lab connected the victim to Adams' motel room through the use of trace evidence of hair and fiber. Adams was found guilty last month of 21 counts of rape, kidnapping for rape and other sexual-assault charges. However, the jury deadlocked on a charge of trying to kidnap a 26-year-old woman from a supermarket parking lot in Rosamond on Dec. 21. Adams also was charged with assault with intent to commit rape in a Nov. 21 incident involving his ex-girlfriend, but jurors convicted him of a lesser charge of spousal abuse. |
