Despite the clear evidence, King County Prosecutors said a conviction is not always a guarantee.

An advocacy group spoke out after what many see as an alarmingly light sentence handed down against an Auburn man. Matthew Darnell was caught on camera trying to abduct a barista back in January, but he’s already back on the streets after copping a plea deal.

Stone said of their around 5,000 sexual assault cases each year, half are in some stage of the legal process. Those cases often end in plea bargains. Court documents said that strap was a zip tie, with a 12-inch loop, meant to go around the barista’s neck. Police believe his motives were sexual in nature.

“You don’t have the option for DOC supervision after he’s released and also not a criminal protection order for the victim,” said McNerthney.
