Gregory Alan Whittemore, a convicted sex offender, received a 70-year prison sentence for the rape, beating, and murder of 27-year-old Allison Scarfone in Colorado Springs. The crime was committed just days after his release on parole for a previous sexual assault charge. Judge Samuel Evig criticized the justice system, emphasizing the necessity of longer sentences for violent offenders to protect the community. Scarfone's tragic death underscores the systemic failures in managing repeat offenders and the urgent need for reform within the criminal justice system.
Allison Scarfone deserved to live a long and fruitful life, yet she was brutally murdered by a violent sex offender who should have been in prison.
This criminal justice system must do better to protect members of this community from people like this defendant... violent sex offenders should be separated from society.
Whittemore, 42, will spend the next 70 years behind bars after he lured Allison Scarfone to his Colorado Springs home and then smothered her.
The predator was on parole for an attempted sexual assault conviction when he met the victim, highlighting systemic issues in reoffending.
