Jurors on Friday convicted 57-year-old Antonio Doll of breaking into the woman’s home, beating and sexually battering her back on Oct. 23, 2023.
Investigators said surveillance video showed Doll riding a bicycle near the victim’s home before he waited for her to come home from work then broke in and viciously attacked her.
An arrest report said the victim was hit several times as Doll repeatedly told her, “I’ll kill you, you’ll bleed out.”

Doll allegedly blindfolded her and used a sharp object to force her into a bedroom, where he sexually assaulted her, and then tied her hands and feet together before leaving the room.
The victim had testified at the trial about what happened, and Doll’s defense attorneys tried to claim the encounter was consensual but the jury wasn’t swayed.
Sentencing will likely take place next month.
Doll was previously described by authorities as a “career criminal,” and prison records showed he had spent three decades behind bars for armed burglary and aggravated assault before his release in March 2023, just months before the attack in Parkland.
