A Madison man was sentenced to 10 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to charges of a second-degree sexual assault near campus.
Marcus Boone, 28, was charged with second-degree sexual assault, a class C felony, after pleading guilty to the assault count on February 2. He was initially arrested and charged for first-degree sexual assault, a class B felony, but the charge was dismissed.
Boone sexually assaulted a 21-year-old woman around 2:40 a.m. in Fahrenbrook Court, after following her along S. Park Street in August.
Police detectives were able to work undercover to identify Boone after the victim gave a detailed description of the assault. Several citizens provided helpful leads and identified Boone as the person in video surveillance footage of the parking lot.
After Boone is released from his 10-year sentence, he will be under extended supervision for the subsequent 12 years.
