A 44 year old Philadelphia man with a previous conviction for robbery and previous rape arrests where the victim did not press charges pled guilty to attempted rape and armed robbery. He faces a mandatory minimum of 10 to 20 years when he is sentenced July 14 by Judge Earl W. Trent Jr.
About 10 a.m. Feb. 20, 2007, Wooden entered the dry cleaners with his hand in his coat pocket, as if he had a gun, Assistant District Attorney Bill Davis said in court yesterday.
Wooden swiped $40 from the cash register, then pushed the woman owner to the back of the store, forced her on the floor and attempted to rape her, Davis said.
Wooden was arrested June 14 in a building on Woodland Avenue near 70th Street in Southwest Philadelphia.
In court yesterday, Wooden, wearing a buttoned-down shirt and glasses, cried after pleading guilty.
Wooden faces a maximum of 20 to 40 years. Attempted rape and robbery are 1st degree felonies in Pennsylvania.
