FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) A man already in prison for two rapes in Massachusetts in the 1990s has pleaded guilty to raping two more women.

Bristol County prosecutors say 63-year-old Ivan Keith was sentenced Tuesday to up to 30 years in prison. He pleaded guilty to charges in connection with sexual assaults in Taunton and Easton in the late 1990s.

The sentence will be tacked on to concurrent 20-year sentences Keith received last year after pleading guilty to rapes in Quincy and West Bridgewater.

Keith fled Massachusetts in 2003 and was arrested in Seal Cove, Maine, in August 2019 where he was living under an alias.
