LANCASTER \u2013 A convicted murderer released from prison after serving more than three decades behind bars was found guilty Friday of drugging and raping a woman inside his Agua Dulce trailer two years ago, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.<\/p>\n

An Antelope Valley jury deliberated just over an hour before convicting 75-year-old Arthur Eugene Lindsey <\/strong>of nine felony counts, including rape of an unconscious person, rape by use of drugs, oral copulation of an unconscious person, sexual penetration by a foreign object and possession of a firearm by a felon with three priors, according to Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami.<\/p>\n

The jury also found true allegations that Lindsey had previously been convicted in 1965 of first-degree murder and first-degree murder in the perpetration of rape for the killing of a 21-year-old woman in Indiana and for failing to file a change of address as a sex offender in 2005 in California, according to the District Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n

Jurors acquitted Lindsey of a misdemeanor charge of obstructing or delaying a peace officer.<\/p>\n

On June 3, 2013, the victim, who was 29 years old at the time, was drugged and raped for two days inside Lindsey\u2019s Agua Dulce trailer, the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n

On June 5, 2013, a parole officer discovered Lindsey sexually assaulting the unconscious victim during a surprise parole check, according to court testimony.<\/p>\n

The victim acknowledged that she had consumed alcohol Lindsey gave her after he offered her a ride in his BMW, but said she hadn’t taken amphetamines, opiates and benzodiazepines that were found in her system, Hatami said.<\/p>\n

Lindsey’s phone contained numerous photos of the woman while she was passed out, Hatami said.<\/p>\n

Lindsey is set to be sentenced April 9 at the Antelope Valley courthouse in Lancaster. He faces more than 100 years to life in state prison.<\/p>\n
