The former Coal Twp. state prison guard had been found guilty of committing rapes in three counties.
SUNBURY -- A state Superior Court panel has affirmed the conviction and sentence of a former state prison guard found to have raped and kidnapped women in three counties between 2012 and 2017.
Kurtz claimed his sentence was excessive because the judge failed to take into account several mitigating factors including his untreated psycho-sexual paraphilic disorder, lack of a prior criminal record, and his prior military service. It pointed out he was charged with offenses related to five attempted or completed rapes and kidnappings over five years in which late at night he entered a residence, surprised his victims, and gagged and bound them.
