60 years for rapist of 11-year-old

A man convicted of raping an 11-year-old girl at knifepoint in her bedroom two years ago will spend at least 60 years in prison.

Peter Jacob Inouye, 26, was found guilty of three counts of first-degree rape while armed with a deadly weapon, one count of first-degree burglary while armed with a deadly weapon with sexual motivation, and one count of second-degree assault of a child while armed with a deadly weapon with sexual motivation.

“I was just a child and he took away my innocence in just 20 minutes,” the victim, now 13, told the judge at sentencing. She also blasted Inouye for not taking the stand during his trial.

The sentences for all five counts will be served consecutively, so the earliest Inouye could be paroled is in 60 years.

The judge said the reason for the exceptionally long sentence was because the child was raped three times during the Feb, 5, 2007 incident, so the judge sentenced Inouye on all three rapes.

Inouye was initially identified as a person of interest after detectives learned he had been at the victim's home for an event to help the girl’s family after her father died.
