Klamath Falls man sentenced for kidnapping, sexual assault

News summary

Negasi Zuberi, a 31-year-old man from Klamath Falls, Oregon, was sentenced to life in federal prison for kidnapping and sexually assaulting two women. In July 2023, he posed as a police officer, used a taser to detain a woman in Seattle, and transported her approximately 450 miles to his home where he held her in a makeshift cell constructed from cinder blocks. The victim escaped by breaking open the cell door and flagged down a passing motorist for help. Federal prosecutors highlighted Zuberi's dangerous history, which included another kidnapping and sexual assault just weeks prior. U.S. Attorney Natalie Wight stated that Zuberi's life sentence aims to provide some comfort to the victims and ensure he can no longer harm others. During the trial, Zuberi's prior convictions and manipulative behavior were detailed, painting him as a serial predator.
