Arizona man with IQ of 62 sentenced to 3 1/2 years

A man with an IQ of 62 who dropped out of 6th grade was sentenced to 3 ½ years in prison March 3, the minimum sentence for the rape of a Tucson woman in July of 1998. She was raped as she was walking to work near the intersection of E. 14th St. & S. 6th Av. by Alvin F. Lambert, 50.

DNA evidence was collected from the victim and entered into a national database, but there were no arrests until Lambert was arrested last year on an unrelated felony and his DNA entered into the same database.

Lambert was facing charges of sexual assault, sexual abuse, and kidnapping, but plead to attempted sexual assault last month. The 3 ½ years in prison was the minimum sentence as stipulated in the plea agreement, he faced up to 8 ¾ years in prison.
