A Bronx man has been sentenced to 98 years to life in prison for kidnapping a woman and raping her over the course of four days in Kingsbridge.
Authorities say 45-year-old Timothy Harnett was found guilty by a jury in July.
The crime took place in April 2022, when he offered a 28-year-old woman money in exchange for sex.
He then took her to an abandoned building, beat her with a tire iron and raped her.
Harnett left the building four days later, according to authorities.
The victim escaped afterwards and waived a person down to call 911.
