HERMISTON, Ore. (AP) — A Hermiston man has been sentenced more than 6 years in prison for sexually assaulting a woman last February.
The East Oregonian reported that 33-year-old Steven Ray Sather pleaded no contest Monday to the assault charge while two rape charges were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
Sather must also write a letter of apology to his victim, a 21-year-old Pasco, Wash., woman, and register as a sex offender.
According to Hermiston police, Sather and the woman were drinking at his residence in Hermiston early the morning of Feb. 28 when the woman passed out.
