ORLANDO Fla. – Edgar Collazo, known as the "Hello Kitty" rapist, was sentenced on Friday to life in prison in a string of Orange County sexual batteries.

Collazo was convicted in July on eight counts, including sexual battery, kidnapping and burglary involving three women.

He was arrested last year after police say he tried to rape a woman in the parking lot of an IHOP. 

During his trial, prosecutors showed the jury DNA evidence that connected Collazo to a crime in 2012. In that case, a woman said he broke into her apartment, threatened her with a knife and raped her.

Collazo got his nickname because of the Hello Kitty tattoo on his arm.
