No, with two more convictions pending (for which conviction is likely) and
consecutive sentences likely imposed, and further considering that there
is no longer any parole in the Commonwealth with inmates serving 85-88%
on average of their sentences imposed, this rapist could easily be looking at 100+ years after the other two criminal cases are adjudicated.

Correction: first sentence should read ...with two more cases pending...(rather than convictions pending)
