ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — A man sentenced to 130 years in prison for the kidnap and rape of a 10-year-old Eugene girl has been sentenced to another six years for attempting to rape a pregnant woman at a downtown Roseburg business.
When asked if he had anything to say at Friday’s sentencing, 27-year-old Malcolm Gerlach told a Douglas County judge: “I just want to get it over with.”
Prosecutors says Gerlach went on a crime spree shortly after his release from a Roseburg jail on Jan. 14, 2009.
He attempted to rape the woman in Roseburg and then crashed a stolen near the Coos Bay Speedway. Days later, he stole a car in Winston before raping the young girl in north Eugene.
