A man accused of assaulting a woman in January was sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation Tuesday after pleading guilty to two misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

On July 30, Frank Webb, 37, of Grand Lake was sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation and 183 days in jail, though he was given credit for 183 days already served.<\/p>\n

Webb\u2019s sentencing came after he pleaded guilty to single counts of disorderly conduct and third-degree assault after working out a plea agreement with the 14th<\/sup> Judicial District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of the agreement, 14 other charges were dismissed, including two counts of second-degree kidnapping, six counts of sexual assault, one count of second-degree assault, one count of extortion, two counts of felony menacing, one count of false imprisonment and a single count of criminal mischief.<\/p>\n

Court officials noted that Webb also will be required to pay fines and court costs, and he must undergo a domestic violence evaluation and follow any recommend treatment.<\/p>\n

The alleged incident that led to Webb\u2019s arrest occurred from Jan. 25-28. According to court documents, the woman told authorities Webb\u2019s attacks began Jan. 25 when he shoved her against a door and choked her with his forearm.<\/p>\n

After a struggle, the woman told investigators, she fought back, got away from Webb and locked herself in a bedroom. Webb then allegedly kicked the door open, threatened the woman with further physical violence and a knife, and sexually assaulted her.<\/p>\n

The woman told investigators Webb assaulted her again on Jan. 28 after another altercation. In that incident, Webb allegedly grabbed the woman by the hair before slamming her head into the floor multiple times.<\/p>\n

The woman also told investigators Webb forced her to sign over the titles to her vehicles and trailer home while again threatening her with a knife. Webb is further alleged to have sexually assaulted woman for hours that night.<\/p>\n

The following day, the woman sought help and reported the alleged assaults to authorities. Webb was arrested and charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

Officials from the district attorney\u2019s office explained Webb\u2019s plea agreement, noting that new evidence was presented by Webb\u2019s defense attorneys in early July.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new evidence raised substantial questions about the courtroom viability of certain testimony, and for that reason other more serious charges were dismissed,\u201d the DA\u2019s office said in a statement.<\/p>\n

For his part, District Attorney Matt Karzen offered an extended comment on the topic.<\/p>\n

\u201cProsecutors have an unyielding ethical duty to remain loyal to this highest burden of proof, and in this case, the newly discovered evidence required we re-evaluate the case,\u201d he said. \u201cThe cold, hard evidentiary realities of a criminal trial sometimes require our prosecutors to make difficult and painful choices in order to adhere to their ethical mandates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen that circumstance arises, we do our best to achieve whatever justice we can. Here, the resolution brings closure and the protection of a two-year restraining order to the victim, and it will prohibit Mr. Webb, as a convicted domestic violence offender, from possession of a firearm under federal law. Under the circumstances, the disposition represents the best available balance between public safety, victim safety and dignity, the defendant\u2019s constitutional rights, and a prosecutor\u2019s ethical responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
