Man sentenced to 20 years for two rape cases in Montgomery County

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WAKA) – A man who Montgomery County District Attorney Azzie Oliver calls a serial rapist has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Oliver announced today that Rubin Atkins pleaded guilty this week to raping and unlawfully imprisoning two women in his home.

She says evidence showed that on two separate occasions – December 28, 2022 and January 16, 2023 – Atkins lured female victims to his house and sexually assaulted them. He then demanded money in exchange for their release and threatened  further harm if they refused, she said.

“These were calculated, predatory acts that inflicted lasting trauma and violated the most basic sense of safety and dignity. The tireless work of the prosecutors, investigators and victims’ advocates has ensured that this dangerous individual will be off our streets for the next two decades — unable to harm others,” Oliver said.
