A man who held a woman captive in a hotel room for two years will spend the rest of his life behind bars after a judge sentenced him to 394 years in prison.

Ian Kroe, 58, was sentenced on Tuesday in San Mateo County, California after a jury convicted him in February of kidnapping and raping a 74-year-old woman. District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe told SFGate he’s thankful for the judge’s “insight in recognizing the evilness of this [man] and the need to lock him up forever.”
