(AP) — A former federal police officer in Grand Island has been given 300 days in jail for misdemeanor sexual assault.

Justin Maltagliati had pleaded no contest after prosecutors lowered his original felony charge. The 41-year-old was sentenced on Tuesday.

Maltagliati was employed at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center when the incident occurred on July 20 last year.

A woman told police that she’d filed documents for a protection order against Maltagliati three days earlier. She says she awoke at 3 a.m. that day to find him touching her. She says he sexually assaulted her despite her telling him to stop and trying to push him away.

He will get credit for the 56 days he has already served in jail.
