A 46-year-old man has been sentenced to life for a 1999 aggravated rape near the Lake Charles Civic Center.
Austin Mott Jr., was convicted Feb. 13 in state district court for beating and raping a woman inside a public restroom located not far from the Civic Center on Oct. 5, 1999.
The victim had been jogging in the area and stopped to use the facility when Mott came in, hit her multiple times, broke her nose and raped her in a bathroom stall.
Lake Charles police stated in July 2015 that the initial investigation was unable to make headway due to few leads and to limited lab testing available.
But after Lt. Kevin Kirkum reopened the case in December 2014 and resubmitted evidence for testing, a DNA match to Mott was made. Mott was incarcerated at the time in Rosharon, Texas for a sexual offense.
Judge Ron Ware found Mott guilty of aggravated rape after a one-day bench trial.
Ware sentenced Mott on Feb. 17 to life in prison without the benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence.
