Freemansburg, PA native Bobby Jo Buskirk, 28, was convicted of raping and robbing an 82 year old Bethlehem woman on November 2, 2002. Buskirk will face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine and sex offender registration under Megan's Law.
Assistant District Attorney Patricia Broscius said Buskirk, wearing a black knit face mask, broke into the victim's home on Nov. 2, 2002, and demanded money.
"He stated, 'I know you have money. I know all about you,'" Broscius said.
When the victim handed over $2, Buskirk pushed her on a sofa and demanded she perform oral sex on him before raping her. Broscius said the victim pleaded with Buskirk to stop.
"He only replied by repeating 'Do you like it?'" Broscius said.
Buskirk ejaculated on the victim, bound her hands with a cable and told her to count to 50 before he left.
Police took DNA samples and sent the results to the state police crime lab. The case languished until last October, when state police reported the samples matched Buskirk.
Buskirk was released from state prison July 6 after finishing time for a parole violation on a felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge from 2004. Buskirk was arrested Nov. 5, and a blood test matched him to the DNA samples taken from the victim.
Judge William Moran ordered a pre-sentencing report and a violent sex offendre evaluation before Buskirk's sentencing on July 2.
