A Seattle man who'd admitted to raping two women at Myrtle Edwards Park was sentenced to 20 years in prison Friday.

Earlier this year, Angel Galvan-Hernandez pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree rape in the separate August 2007 attacks at the waterfront park.

In both attacks, Galvan-Hernandez, 26, was accused of beating and choking his victims as he forced himself on them.

Speaking in King County Superior Court, Galvan-Hernandez pleaded with Judge Julie Spector to have him executed rather than send him to prison.

In a turn characterized by Spector, without humor, as "ironic," Galvan-Hernandez begged not to be sent to prison where he believes he will be raped.

"I prefer death a thousand times over being raped," said Galvan-Hernandez.

A tiny man less than 5 feet in height, Galvan-Hernandez told the court he'd been sexually assaulted numerous times as a street youth in Mexico.

"I want to pay for the act of cowardice," he added. "I admit it, but I just don't want to be raped."

According to police, Galvan-Hernandez first attacked a then-homeless woman in the park, beating her with chunks of concrete and biting her during the rape. He escaped only to attack another woman days later.

A passer-by broke up the second attack and held Galvan-Hernandez to the ground until police arrived. That passer-by, a former soldier in the Army who asked not to be named, sat in on Friday's hearing to see Galvan-Hernandez sentenced.

Addressing the court, the victim in the first attack told Spector that the injuries she sustained during the attack linger, and that it's changed her day-to-day interactions with friends.

Still, the woman spoke with sympathy for Galvan-Hernandez while asking that the maximum sentence be imposed.

"A life is precious because you only get one," she said, speaking to Galvan-Hernandez. "I hope and pray every day that you get the help you need."

While Galvan-Hernandez's attorneys requested the minimum 10-year sentence, Spector agreed with Senior Deputy Prosecutor Julie Kays' recommendation and sentenced Galvan-Hernandez to a 20-year term.

Under the conditions set, Galvan-Hernandez will complete his minimum sentence but remain incarcerated until a state board deems him ready for release.

Explaining her decision, Spector turned to a letter she'd received from his second victim.

In the note, the 41-year- old woman cautioned Spector and future authorities not to be put at ease by the "tiny, timid predator." Throughout the 45-minute attack, she wrote, Galvan-Hernandez was calm and determined but panicked each time he heard someone walk by.

"There was a certain level of consciousness, a certain level of thoughtfulness, that went into this crime," Spector said. "I believe you need to be locked up as long as possible to protect the women in our community."

Why post the same subjects over and over again? We've had this so many times before. And why only woman abuse, because that gets the highest views and comments? There are more important and original things happening in the world then men raping or beating woman Squirt.

Ironyyyyy

fair trial = rape. All the options are the same tbh.
He goes to prison after his fair trial, he then proceeds to get raped (what a surprise!) and will then commit suicide.
For rapists and pedophiles I believe in an eye for an eye. Those people should be raped and molested their selfs.

Talking about Irony. You must have seen the threads recently being made, where people complain about the current state of the forum. And how any effort to change it for the better is welcomed with great enthusiasm. No what do you do in order to promote those anticipations? That's right, you post your steady stream of retarded thought deficiency. It doesn't bother me that much personally, but it clearly shows you just don't give a damn. And in my opinion, someone should have swiped you under the rug a long time ago.
