Sentencing began today for an Anchorage man who kidnapped, strangled and raped his ex-wife in 2009.
John Brian Herring, 42, pled guilty last year to one count of first degree sexual assault as part of plea agreement with the state.
Herring was originally charged with six counts of assault, sexual assault, and kidnapping, but as part of the plea agreement, the other 5 counts were dropped.
A medical expert took the stand this afternoon to discuss the victims extensive injuries.
Herring's sentencing will continue on November 4th.
