A 37-year-old man was sentenced to a prison term of 3-1/3 to 10 years yesterday for sexually assaulting four prostitutes in Honolulu last year.

Circuit judge Michael Town sentenced Michael L. Carter after he was allowed to plead guilty to reduced charges. Carter described himself yesterday as a "monster" and apologized.

The Hawai'i Paroling Authority will later determine when he can be released on parole after he serves at least the 3-1/3-year term as a repeat offender.
