A man was sentenced to 40 years in prison after he was found guilty of the sexual assault and kidnapping of an ASU student in October 2021.
Eric Todd Bell attacked a student in Tempe as she was walking from her apartment to work at around 5 a.m. on Oct. 17."Bell grabbed her from behind, took her to a nearby location, and assaulted her. The victim did not know Bell, thinking he was a jogger coming up from behind her on the sidewalk," said a May 14 news release from the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.
"These cases are already challenging enough, even when the defendant has his own lawyer. When the defendant is representing himself, my lawyers must work doubly hard to ensure he doesn’t make mistakes that would jeopardize a conviction. I’m particularly proud of this team who took all that into account and still made sure he will go to prison where he belongs," she explained.On May 9, Bell was sentenced to 40 years in prison. He will also register as a lifetime sex offender.
