MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A judge has sentenced a man to 10 years in prison for sexually assaulting a woman in broad daylight in downtown Madison last year.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports Dane County Circuit Judge Judge Nicholas McNamara sentenced 24-year-old Alex Wade on Friday.
The woman was walking downtown around 7 a.m. on June 14, 2020, when Wade attacked her and held her down in a grassy area near the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Fluno Center. A passerby saw the assault and called 911.
A police officer saw Wade run away while shedding an Illinois traffic citation with his name on it.
He pleaded guilty to second-degree sexual assault. He told the judge on Friday he’s not a monster.
