Alvin Henry pleads guilty to New York attack

Former Trinidad and Tobago sprinter Alvin Henry has begun a 21-year rape sentence at a time when some of his former contemporaries are attending the Beijing Olympics. Henry, who competed in the 400-meter relay at the 2000 Games, pleaded guilty to raping a New York woman in a park last year. Though he was charged with several similar attacks, Henry was also called the “lover’s lane rapist” after he allegedly recorded a woman having sex in a park with her boyfriend. He reportedly threatened to release the video unless the woman had sex with him.
