Man sentenced to 46 years in Washington serial rape case

A man who presented himself as a Native American activist was sentenced Wednesday to 46 years in prison for drugging and raping women, a case that has prompted calls for changes to Washington state law, according to the Associated Press.

Redwolf Pope, 49, was convicted in Washington state of multiple counts related to assaults that occurred in 2016 and 2017, the AP reported. Prosecutors said Pope recorded videos of women who appeared unconscious while he raped them and used a hidden camera in his bathroom to film women showering, according to court documents cited by the AP.

Pope represented himself during his September trial and cross-examined one of his accusers, prompting survivors to urge lawmakers to revise the Crime Victim Bill of Rights, according to the AP. The jury found him guilty on Sept. 3, 2025.
