A Juneau man was indicted on three counts of sexual assault in the first degree and one count of assault in the second degree on Jan. 22.<\/p>\n
Robert Quinto, 40, faces a maximum possible sentence of 99 years. Sexual assault in the first degree are unclassified felony offenses, which carry the longest prison sentences, and the severity exceeding Class A, B or C felonies.<\/p>\n
The charges in question stem from an alleged assault on Jan. 1. According to the charging documents, Quinto raped and strangled a woman, leaving her with soft tissue swelling and injury to the larynx.<\/p>\n
Quinto had known the woman for approximately six months, according to the attorney general information release. The majority of rape cases, 60%, are perpetrated by someone known to the victim, according to the Rape, Assault & Incest National Network.<\/p>\n
None of the charges have been proven in court.<\/p>\n
