Man Gets Life In Prison For Killing Woman In Aurora

BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — A 45-year-old man accused of killing a woman after prosecutors say she caught him engaging in a sex act has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Christopher Michael Winters was convicted of first-degree murder Friday and sentenced for the May 23, 2015, death of 44-year-old Coresa Breault in Aurora.

Prosecutors say Breault left work as a taxi dispatcher and planned to go home, but Winters called and texted her to delay her return, using various pretexts. She finally became fed up and returned to the home, finding him engaging in what prosecutor Patrick Costigan described as "a bizarre sexual fetish."

Costigan said Winters "suffered from the stigmatism of his unspeakable sexual fetish" and strangled Breault to death.
