A Denver jury on Monday convicted a man of rape in a 1996 case. Wayne Glasser, 41, was already in prison when cold-case detectives and DNA connected him to the crime.
Prosecutors said Glasser parked his van in the 3100 block of 14th Avenue in Denver and abducted and raped a 25-year-old woman who was walking home from work.
A jury deliberated less than two hours before returning guilty verdicts on felony charges of first-degree sexual assault with force, aggravated first-degree sexual assault with threats and second-degree kidnapping.
Glasser is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 20.
Glasser is already serving 17 1/2 years in state prison on two unrelated charges.
In 1998 Glasser pleaded guilty to molesting a 14-year-old girl and a 21-year-old Down syndrome woman. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison, which was suspended in lieu of 25 years probation.
He violated probation in 2003 by picking up a prostitute in Denver, police said.
