An Alaskan man will serve no jail time after pleading guilty to assaulting a woman who claims he strangled her unconscious and then masturbated on her. Instead, he was given a "pass." 

On August 15, 2017, 34-year-old Justin Schneider was accused of kidnapping and assaulting a woman. Prosecutors said Schneider offered her a ride and attacked her after she got in his vehicle. In addition to strangling her until she was unconscious, court documents show that he also masturbated on her. While Schneider initially faced a 5-to-99 year prison sentence, a plea deal is letting him walk away serving no time for his heinous acts. 

A criminal complaint from the victim said that she was attempting to get to her boyfriend's house when she met Schneider at a gas station. The two had never met before, but she trusted him to give her a ride. Instead of taking her to her desired destination, Schneider took her to another location and attacked her. There, she says, she was told not to scream or he would kill her. 

"She said she could not fight him off, he was too heavy and had her down being choked to death," the complaint said. "[The victim] said she lost consciousness, thinking she was going to die."

All of this was done with the purpose of sexually satisfying Schneider because "he needed her to believe she was going to die so that he could be sexually fulfilled," according to the complaint.

She recorded his plate numbers as he drove off and reported them to the police. 

On Wednesday, he was sentenced to two years in prison with one of those years being suspended after pleading guilty to one count of felony assault. However, no time will actually be served behind bars because he received credit for the time spent on house arrest. 

According to KTVA, Anchorage Assistant District Attorney Andrew Grannik believes that Schneider losing his job as an air traffic controller for the federal government as a result of his actions is a "life sentence," although many would call that due justice. Grannik says he agreed to strike a plea deal with Schneider after an expert's assessment concluded that the risk of him re-offending is low. 

"I hope it doesn't happen," Grannik said. "That's the reason why I made the deal that I've made, because I have reasonable expectations that it will not happen. But I would like the gentleman to be on notice that that is his one pass — it's not really a pass — but given the conduct, one might consider that it is." 

Upon sentencing, Schneider offered no apology to the victim, rather thanking the judge for the process and claiming to be a better man. 

"It has given me a year to really work on myself and become a better person, and a better husband, and a better father, and I'm very eager to continue that journey," he said. 

Judge Michael Corey concluded by telling him that "this can never happen again." 

That scolding plus his lack of consequences are sure to help him stay on the straight and narrow.
