A New Orleans judge on Wednesday sentenced a "sovereign citizen" to 80 years in prison as a habitual offender after his conviction for raping a 13-year-old girl.

Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Judge Darryl Derbigny sentenced Dexter Vassar, 45, after his conviction on second-degree rape at a jury trial.

Prosecutors said Vassar sexually assaulted the girl in New Orleans East on Oct. 16, 2016.

The girl said she was in Vassar’s care when he locked her in a room and raped her. She told her mother that night what had happened.

Authorities bolstered their case against Vassar with DNA evidence and testimony by two other women who accused him of assaulting them.

Vassar claimed in legal filings that he’s a sovereign member of the “Moorish Nation” and refused to enter the courtroom for most of the trial.

But he did appear in an orange jumpsuit to deliver a bizarre closing statement in which he admitted to having a sexual encounter with the victim, blamed her for wearing red shorts around the house and boasted that women were attracted to him.

Assistant District Attorneys David LeBlanc and Michelle Montiel invoked Vassar’s prior felony conviction to have him deemed a habitual offender, doubling his maximum potential sentence from 40 years to 80.
