As per CBS News, Robert Chambers became infamous in 1986 when Jennifer Levin was murdered in Central Park. Both Levin and Chambers had spent the evening drinking at Dorrian's Red Hand, a Manhattan pub, before going to the park. Levin's body was discovered under a tree, half-naked and battered. Chambers, then 19, was the last person seen with her.

He first explained to police that Levin's injuries were accidental, the result of rough s*x. With no verdict after nine days of jury deliberation, Chambers accepted a plea bargain to first-degree manslaughter on March 25, 1988, as per CBS News.

He was given a prison sentence of 15 years, which he completed at Auburn Correctional Facility before being released in February 2003.

Later legal misadventures and a second term behind bars

As per Gothamist, since his release in 2003, Chambers has had trouble staying out of trouble with the law. He temporarily relocated to Ireland with his mother but soon returned to New York. In 2007, Chambers and his girlfriend were arrested in their Manhattan apartment for selling drugs to undercover officers. Cocaine, crack pipes, and signs of regular drug use were discovered by police in the apartment.

Chambers fought back, and an officer was injured in the altercation. Chambers pleaded guilty to drug offenses and assaulting an officer, acknowledging a serious substance abuse issue. He was sentenced to 19 years and 4 months in prison.

The sentence was longer than his initial sentence for the Central Park murder. Prosecutors at the time hoped that Chambers would spend the remainder of his life in prison, considering the severity of the new charges and his prior record, as per Gothamist.
