Man sentenced to 100 years in Va. Beach rape case
 A judge today sentenced a man to 100 years in prison, with 60 suspended, for a brutal home break-in and rape, according to the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. That means Allen Otis Kelley, 27, will serve four decades, the maximum under his plea agreement, the office said. Kelley in February pleaded guilty to rape, abduction, statutory burglary and grand larceny in the case. During a previous hearing, a woman described waking up the night of Nov. 15, 2010, to find Kelley in her home. He then choked her, raped her and tied her up with shoelaces, leaving her with injuries to her face, throat and hands, according to a court document outlining prosecutors’ evidence in the case. |

On May 22, DNA evidence showed that the same person had committed all three of the rapes from 2011 and 2012. But at the time, there wasn’t a match to a person for that DNA.
