Pec removed her blanket and sexually assaulted her. In response to her cries for help, prosecutors revealed that Pec brutally attacked her, repeatedly punching her in the head and choking her into silence. Tragically, Willis succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer expressed his sentiments, saying, “This woman had the voice of an absolute angel, and it is a travesty that her voice was forever silenced in such a brutal way. No one should have to suffer the indignity and disrespect she endured in her final moments. I’m thankful the jury quickly and decisively determined that this individual was guilty of this horrific murder and that he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.”
