A Lancaster County judge, at a re-sentencing hearing Monday, ordered a higher sentence against a man who broke into a city woman’s home and stabbed her for an hour.

Elswart R. Bodden, 24, will serve 37.5 to 95 years in state prison for the 2014 attack, which the victim survived despite being stabbed over 20 times.

Last month, Bodden received a sentence of 10 years fewer, but was called back for re-sentencing after a discrepancy was found in sentencing guidelines.

Bodden broke into the woman’s West Orange Street apartment last September, while she was home alone, and repeatedly stabbed her while ransacking rooms.

The 30-year-old woman was Bodden’s neighbor, but she hadn’t seen him before the attack. She survived after calling 9-1-1 from the floor of an upstairs room.

A local jury convicted Bodden in June of attempted murder, robbery, and other charges.

Lancaster County Assistant District Attorney Christopher Lechner prosecuted the case.
