A sex offender accused of sodomizing a pregnant woman during a burglary at her home pleaded guilty to the offenses yesterday before the prosecution called its first witness.
Anthony Penn, who was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment in 2012 for a similar offense, will not get any additional time in accordance with the terms of a plea agreement that bars the judge from imposing a consecutive sentence.
Penn sodomized the woman after she begged him not to violate her on April 23, 2011. He also robbed her at gunpoint of an undisclosed sum.
Justice Indra Charles will hold a formal sentencing hearing today, but she told Penn that he will receive 20 years for the armed robbery, 25 years for the rape and seven years for the burglary to "run concurrently with any other sentence he's serving".
Bar Association President Elsworth Johnson appeared for Penn and Abigail Farrington prosecuted.
In June 2012, Penn was convicted of the sexual assault of a 21-year-old woman on April 25, 2011.
Prosecutors alleged that Penn burglarized the woman's home, robbed her at gunpoint and raped her.
Penn, who denied the allegations, remained silent and did not call any witnesses on his behalf.
The woman claimed that Penn broke into her New Providence home, placed a gun to her head and forced her to have sex with him while her twins slept in the same bed.
The woman said she grabbed the gun after Penn placed it on a pillow. She pulled the trigger and to her astonishment learned it was toy.
Senior Justice Jon Isaacs sentenced Penn to 25 years in prison for the rape and armed robbery. He was sentenced to 10 years for burglary. Isaacs ordered those sentences to run concurrently.
