The sexual predator who pleaded guilty to attacking a runner in a Golden Gardens restroom last year could spend the rest of his life in prison.
A judge sentenced Gary Steiner to 36 months of an indeterminate sentence on Friday, which means a review board could keep him behind bars indefinitely.
Kelly Heron, who successfully fought off the attack, appeared in court during the sentencing. Steiner apologized through tears, but Heron said she felt nothing.
“When it comes to repeat sex offenders who have done this time and time again, who have been given opportunities to get back out and when they get back out they keep doing this… it’s very hard to feel sorry for somebody if they’re up there crying,” she told KIRO 7.
A level 3 sex offender, Steiner had been convicted of similar assaults in Arizona.
