AURORA, Colo. — An Aurora man will spend at least 12 years in prison after he was found guilty in December 2019 of charges related to the rape of two girls in 2018, according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office.
Ble Kore received a sentence of 12 years to life in prison.
Ble Kore, 25, was convicted on Dec. 10, of sexual assault – use of force and sexual assault – overcoming a victim’s will.
He received a sentence in late February of 12 years to life in prison for the first charge and 6 years to life for the second charge. The sentences will be served concurrently, or at the time.
Prosecutors had asked that be served consecutively which would have resulted in a minimum of an 18 year sentence.
“Kore is the Webster’s definition of ‘predator.’ He went to a school looking for innocent victims to satisfy his sexual urges. He plucked one girl, then another, off the street. And he raped both of them. Same day,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “No sentence would have been too long for what he did. I am impressed with the courageous victims here. Without them, we may not have been able to hold this repeat rapist accountable.”
On Sept. 13, 2018, Kore approached a girl walking home from Overland High School. He approached the victim saying to get into his car, as he knew who she was and that he had someone watching her mother.
Concerned for her mom, she got in the car and he drove to the guest parking lot of her apartment complex where he raped her. She was scared because he knew where she lived.
Later that afternoon, Kore approached another juvenile walking in the parking lot at Overland High School and asked for her phone number. When she tried to walk away, he demanded she get in his car. He drove her to another parking lot near the school and raped her.
The victims did not know Kore or each other.
The Aurora Police Department investigated the incidents and connected them due to the similar descriptions of the car and defendant. In addition, the DNA of the defendant was found on both juveniles.
