Ian Kroe, who befriended a 74-year-old woman after the death of his mother, imprisoned her in a hotel for over two years, subjecting her to severe abuse. She was denied medical care for injuries and had her finances exploited. Eventually, she managed to contact a friend who alerted the police, leading to Kroe’s arrest. His sentencing marks one of the most severe in San Mateo County, with Kroe facing 33 felony counts including torture and rape, underscoring the horrific nature of the crimes committed against the elderly victim.
District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe described the case as unusual, stating it is something that has never been encountered in San Mateo County.
A judge sentenced Ian Kroe to 394 years to life for his horrific actions, resulting in convictions for multiple counts including rape, torture, and elder abuse.
