LIMA — Timothy Boedicker was sentenced late Monday afternoon to 42 years to life in prison following his conviction on 11 counts of rape and other sexual offenses involving a girl who was as young as 10 years old when several of the incidents occurred.
Allen County Common Pleas Court Judge Terri Kohlrieser presided over the bench trial in the absence of a jury and needed less than an hour to return guilty verdicts on all 11 counts. Several of the counts were merged for purposes of sentencing, leaving Kohlrieser to hand down verdicts on six counts of first-degree felony rape.
She sentenced Boedicker, 42, to prison terms of 10 years to life on four counts and six years on two rape charges. Most of the sentences were ordered to be served consecutively.
