Man gets 3 years for gang rape

Stamford (AP) - A 26-year-old Connecticut man has been sentenced to three years in prison for his role in the gang rape of a New Canaan woman that took place over 14 hours in two towns.

Wilkens Placide of Norwalk was sentenced Wednesday in Stamford Superior Court. He pleaded guilty in March to third-degree sexual assault and other crimes. Placide was the last of four defendants sentenced in the sexual assault of the 24-year-old woman.

Police say the assaults occurred at three different houses in Stamford and Norwalk during a night of drug use in July 2007.

A second man, Catragne Moresca of Stamford, is serving a four-year prison sentence, and the other two men got two years in jail.

All four defendants said the woman willingly exchanged sex for drugs.
