NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — A man convicted of raping his former stepdaughter in attacks she disclosed years later in a college application essay was sentenced Monday to 18 years in prison.

Albert Tarrats, 62, balding with a long, straggly gray beard, clutched a Bible as he was sentenced Monday, WCBS 880?s Irene Cornell reported.

Tarrats repeatedly raped his then-stepdaughter in 2003, according to a court complaint. She was only 8 years old at the time and kept the abuse secret from her family for nearly a decade until penning an essay to apply to a Florida religious college, prosecutors said. She’d been asked to write about what made her who she is.

“My home life has always been something interesting,” began the 2012 piece, which was aired at the ex-stepfather’s recent trial.
