   Frederick Dozier, Jr.   
      
   Following an 11-month investigation and trial, 33-year-old Frederick Dozier   
   was sentenced today to 373 years in prison for sexually assaulting three women   
   in separate incidents along the Mission District’s 24th Street corridor last   
   year. Dozier was    
   convicted on 25 counts, including rape, sexual assault, kidnapping, robbery   
   and forced oral copulation.   
      
   The gallery was hushed when presiding Superior Court Judge Anne Christine   
   Massullo read the sentence, pausing to look at Dozier when she announced the   
   number of years.   
      
   The judge also expressed respect for Dozier’s three victims, two of whom   
   were present in the courtroom.   
      
   “I have avoided using the term victim,” she told the court, “because you   
   are not victims, you are survivors. You are more than survivors, you are   
   heroines.”   
      
   Before the sentence was read, one of the three victims — who were not named   
   throughout the trial — read her impact statement in between tears.   
      
   “On June 18, I was raped,” the 22-year-old stated. “I was certain I was   
   dead inside.”   
      
   The victim explained that the day she was raped, her nephew was born. She said   
   that he is “a constant reminder of that day.”   
      
   She told the court and Dozier, who was clad in jailhouse orange pants and a   
   sweatshirt, that the rape and subsequent emotional trauma affected her so   
   greatly that she could not work and failed in school.   
      
   “To this day, I continue to redefine myself,” she said.   
      
   “Because of you, for the first time in my life I am terrified of the   
   dark,” she told Dozier. “It’s not fair … I will never forget the face   
   of the man that destroyed me.”   
      
   The second victim’s statement, read by a friend, described the financial and   
   emotional toll that Dozier’s attack inflicted on her. During the assault in   
   November of last year, Dozier choked the victim so forcefully that all the   
   capillaries in her    
   eyes burst.   
      
   “I now have to live with pain every day,” the victim’s friend read to   
   the court. “I suffer from anxiety and depression … This assault has   
   affected … my whole life.”   
      
   Dozier’s first attack took place at 2:50 a.m. on June 17, 2011, on 24th   
   Street and South Van Ness Avenue. He grabbed the victim and put his hand over   
   her mouth, telling her not to scream, then dragged her to a nearby driveway,   
   where he sexually    
   assaulted and robbed her before running away, according to the investigation.   
      
   At 4 a.m. on Nov. 18, at 24th and Potrero streets, Dozier grabbed, choked and   
   punched another victim, robbing her and twisting her neck. After sexually   
   assaulting her, he hit her with a blunt object and fled.   
      
   The final assault occurred at 6:20 a.m. on Dec. 8, at 24th and Fair Oaks   
   streets. Dozier approached a woman and choked her unconscious after she tried   
   to get away. The victim woke to find Dozier sexually assaulting her. He was   
   found guilty of punching    
   her, pushing her face against the concrete sidewalk and running away with her   
   purse.   
      
   “This individual was a monster,” said District Attorney George Gascón,   
   who was present to hear the sentencing. “Justice was served.”
