A man accused of repeatedly raping a 68-year-old Daytona Beach, Fla., woman for hours in her home was found by officers early Friday still asleep in the victim's bed and arrested -- for the 29th time, according to police.

Investigators said Lenard Jackson, 38, cut the power to the woman's home Thursday night, woke her up and attacked her at knifepoint. The woman said she was hit in the face and then sexually attacked in her bedroom.

Jackson entered the woman's home through the woman's garage and then turned off several circuit breakers, the police report said.

The woman said that at some point during the alleged attack, Jackson fell asleep and she was able to escape and call police from a neighbor's house.

When authorities arrived, they said they found Jackson asleep in the victim's bed.

"He is a career burglar, and I hope he rots in his jail cell for the two hours he tormented and sexually assaulted this woman," Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood said. "This could be somebody's mother or grandmother, and to have this animal just break into her house and do what he did to her -- and I can't come up with words other than despicable and vile."

Jackson was charged with sexual battery, home invasion and kidnapping.

Jackson, who was arrested for the 29th time, was released from state prison last year.

"The police chief says this latest crime puts the nail in his coffin," Local 6's Tarik Minor said. "And, he blames the legal system for letting this criminal on the streets in the first place."
