Louisiana Rapist Given Two Life-Terms Plus
A man has been convicted of rape and sentenced to two life terms-plus for sex crimes involving juveniles.
Gentry Elvridge Vinson of Baton Rouge, 52, received two life sentences Monday, June 28, 2021 from District Judge John D. Mosely Jr. Each sentence is to be served at hard labor without benefit of parole, probation or suspension of sentence.
The sentences stem from crimes committed back on May 7th, 2021. The charges were aggravated rape on 2 counts involving two juvenile girls committed in 1997 and 1999. The girls are reported to be relatives to Vinson, and were under the age of 12 at the time of the crimes.
“You need things that are completely unique and different, that you can’t replicate online,” he said.
It’s a strategy that seems to be working. Taylor, 38, opened his first Trust Hardware in 2012 along Pendleton Pike in Lawrence. His second store, at East 71st Street and Binford Boulevard, opened in October. His newest store opened this month at 911 Massachusetts Ave., right across from the new Bottleworks District development.
In 2019, Trust Hardware brought in $350,000 in revenue. Last year, that figure ballooned to nearly $1 million. Part of the growth came from the pandemic-fueled home improvement boom, Taylor said. Part came from the opening of the 71st Street store. And part came from a dramatic rise in sales at the Pendleton Pike store, which moved down the street in the fall of 2019.
