‘One more blow could have been fatal’: Harrisburg man gets 15 to 30 years in prison for two brutal rapes
Updated May 12, 2021;
A Harrisburg man who pleaded guilty to committing two brutal rapes, including one a prosecutor said was nearly fatal, will be spending the next 15 to 30 years in a state prison.
Dauphin County Judge Deborah E. Curcillo imposed that penalty on Michael Wright on his 36th birthday, nearly three years after Wright was arrested by city police.
“The surgeon who treated her said one more blow could have been fatal,” Gettle said.

Wright was sentenced under a plea agreement that covered the July 2018 of that woman, a May 2018 rape of another woman, and an unrelated burglary. He will have to register with state police for life as a sex offender, Gettle said. She said it still must be determined whether Wright will be designated a sexually violent predator, the most dangerous kind of sex offender.

In the first case, Ifill is convicted of raping a woman during a late-night gathering at a home on Hummel Street in Harrisburg on Oct. 16, 2016, the district attorney’s office said. The woman was unconscious from alcohol consumption when Ifill sexually assaulted her.
The woman reported the assault to the hospital, but didn’t report it to the police right away because she was embarrassed, the DA’s office said. She ended up reporting it in December 2017, after she learned Ifill had been arrested for raping two women a year after her assault.
