Description
A jury convicted defendant, Quantrell Cody, of two counts of rape, two counts of sodomy and one count of first degree robbery. All counts arose out of a single continuous incident. Defendant was sentenced, as a prior and persistent offender and prior sexual offender, to 30 years on each of the rape and sodomy charges, to be served consecutively, and to 30 years on the robbery charge to be served concurrently with the other sentences. Defendant filed a Rule 29.15 motion which was denied. Defendant appeals his sentences and the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion. We affirm. Defendant does not question the sufficiency of the evidence. One morning about 12:30 a.m., while walking near her home looking for her sister, the victim was approached by defendant. She had never met defendant before. She asked him if he knew her sister's boyfriend, Jason. Defendant said he did, and proceeded to lead the victim to where he said her sister and Jason could be found. As the two approached a vacant house, defendant drew a knife and held it to the victim's throat. He forced her upstairs in the vacant house and demanded money from her. Defendant then sodomized the victim in the kitchen near a table. He took her into the ""second room from the kitchen"" and raped her. A short time later in this room, he sodomized her again. He then took her to the ""first room from the kitchen"", ""the middle room"", and again raped her, this time ""on the mattress"". He then took her purse, which contained $180. Defendant left. The victim ran back to her home and called the police. Subsequently, defendant was arrested.
