Man accused of kidnapping woman and masturbating on her is given 'one pass,' won't go to prison
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/09/22/man-accused-kidnapping-masturbating-woman-given-one-pass-wont-go-prison/?utm_term=.50c6d212e12cJustin Schneider, 34, was arrested in August after offering a woman a ride from a gas station, stopping on the side of a road, asking her to step out under the pretense of loading items into the car, strangling her until she lost consciousness, then masturbating on her, police said then.
The victim “said she could not fight him off, he was too heavy and had her down being choked to death,” Anchorage police detective Brett Sarber wrote in a criminal complaint obtained by KTVA News. “[She] said she lost consciousness, thinking she was going to die.”
...
On Wednesday, Schneider accepted a deal in which he pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree felony assault in exchange for the dismissal of his other assault, kidnapping and harassment charges. He was sentenced to two years in prison with one year suspended.
However, because Schneider was given credit for a year under house arrest, he will not serve additional time in prison. He will be required to continue wearing an ankle monitor and participate in a treatment program.
