Pennsylvania child rapist is jailed until the year 3523, convicted of attacking girl 13,143 times
A Pennsylvania child rapist has been sentenced to 3,000 years in prison for sex crimes carried out over a period of six years.
Matthew Perry was found guilty in November, convicted of 13,143 felonies, after a trial at Greene County Court.
The 44-year-old will not be eligible for parole until the year 3523.
District Attorney David Russo said he decided to charge one count for every day the child victim was abused, starting from the age of just five.
During the trial, Russo said the victim testified she was raped every day and that it was 'as routine as brushing her teeth.'

In a statement, the DA's office reported that after a four-day trial a unanimous jury found Perry of Greensboro, PA, guilty of 2,190 felony charges of rape of a child under 13; 2,190 felony charges of deviate sexual intercourse with a child; 2,191 felony charges of aggravated indecent assault; 2,190 felony charges of incest of a minor; and 2,191 felony charges of indecent assault.
Russo, prosecuting, said in a press release: 'This was a difficult case that arose from a difficult situation. I want to thank the jury for their service and the State Police investigators for their diligence.
'It took teamwork through many organizations, to see that justice was done for the victim and ultimately, it comes in a potential consecutive sentence of a minimum of 13,140 years.
'The children of Greene County are the future of Greene County and we will not tolerate crimes against our children.'
Perry had fled to Morgantown, West Virginia, in June 2017 but was captured the following August.
He was charged in this case in October 2020 while awaiting trial on charges of raping another child.
For the second case, he was sentenced last May to 40 to 80 years.
For the 2020 case, he was convicted in November last year.
District Attorney David Russo said he was 'proud to announce Matthew Perry would have to live for 3000 years in order to pay his debt to society'
Perry and his wife had lived as fugitives for the last six years.
In 2018, Perry's wife Cheyenna Perry, 40, pleaded guilty to videotaping and taking photographs of a girl performing sex acts, and then sending them to her husband.
Cheyenna Perry said little after Greene County Judge Lou Dayich sentenced her to 3 ½ to 7 years in state prison and ordered her to register for life as a sex offender after she pleaded guilty to all charges.
