Texter -- which likely means he'll spend the rest of his life in prison. Texter, 44, was convicted last November of two counts of second-degree sexual assault for dragging a Narragansett High School freshman into the woods and groping her in September 2003. The attack led the state Attorney General's Office to obtain a probation violation against Texter in October 2003. Texter, in his appeal, said that relied on evidence he contended was illegally seized by Narragansett police investigating the attack. The Supreme Court's ruling adds 39 years to the 30-year sentence he received for the Narragansett assault. Texter has a lengthy record. In 1988, Texter was convicted of raping a woman in her Westerly apartment at knifepoint. A year later, he was convicted of kidnapping a pregnant woman and forcing her to perform oral sex at gunpoint. He served 13 years and was out on parole at the time of his Narragansett arrest. Posted by Steve Peoples CommentsPost a commentPlease be civil.
