Justin 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.

Judgeships matter!

This is also why we fight!

2. This is disgusting ... very disgusting

3. He's one kidnapping away from being a rapist.

It might be interesting if he was kidnapped and "rapist" tattooed on his forehead. When he tries to make a stink about hit, the judge can tell him, "What's the big deal? Just grow your hair out and comb it over your forehead!"

8. More to the point, he's one strangulation away from being a murderer

He may not be willing or able to penetrate, given his MO.

My gods, what a disgusting judge.

9. This crime is so heinous he is certain to strike again.

What a joke.

5. Worth noting the perp is white and his victim is Native American

In the article, it mentioned that under current Alaskan law, masturbating onto someone isn't a sex crime.
