Anthony Penn, who is also known as Anthony Smith, was convicted of rape, burglary and armed robbery in 2012. He received concurrent sentences of 25 years for the armed robbery and rape, and 10 years for the burglary.

According to the evidence, the victim was asleep at her home on April 25, 2011 when she was awoken by Penn who put a gun to her head and threatened to kill her if she moved.
