A judge is sending a man he calls “one of the most dangerous people to come to Kodiak” to prison for attempted assault and coercion.
The Kodiak Daily Mirror (http://bit.ly/1I6eZ3r) reports Judge Steve Cole sentenced Robert Zoellner Jr. to 15 years behind bars as part of a plea deal. Six of the years will be suspended.
The case began with a woman claiming she was violently raped at a popular park. During their investigation, law-enforcement officials found videos and photos from the suspect’s computer showing him sexually assaulting another woman.
Cole asked Zoellner if he had anything to say before sentencing.
The 34-year-old replied he just wanted to thank the court.
District Attorney Steve Wallace says the victims wanted to have the matter resolved without having to go to trial.
