An Anchorage Superior Court judge on Friday sentenced disgraced police officer and convicted serial rapist Anthony Rollins to serve 87 years in prison.
Judge Philip Volland handed down the sentence around 6:20 p.m. at the end of an all-day hearing. Known for being outwardly thoughtful in his decisions, Volland said the trial left an impression on him. He called Rollins "a rapist in blue with a badge."
"I was shocked. I remain shocked," Volland said. Quoting one of the victims, he later added, "When someone in a position like his preys on women, it erodes our faith in the entire legal system."
