A Washington state man who sexually assaulted a dying high school student was sentenced to three years in prison, according to reports on Nov. 15.
Superior Court Judge Linda Krese said Brian Varela, 20, cannot be sentenced to more than two years and 10 months behind bars, The Associated Press reported, for the assault of 18-year-old Alyssa Noceda. It’s because he has no prior criminal record, she said.
