BELLINGHAM, Wash. – It’s almost 40 years in prison for a Whatcom County rapist and kidnapper.

Edmund Olivas Junior abducted and sexually assaulted three women.

He pleaded guilty earlier and was sentenced to nearly 39 years behind bars.

A woman Olivas kidnapped in February of 2015 managed to escape, but two 18-year-olds he abducted in May of last year weren’t as fortunate.

He raped them as he drove around for hours.

He finally dropped them off on the side of a road near Sumas.
