SEATTLE (AP) - Authorities say a Coast Guard member has been found guilty of a sexual assault and lying about it.
The U.S. Coast Guard says Petty Officer 3rd Class Juan A. Guzman was sentenced in Seattle Friday to confinement for four years, a reduction in rank, forfeiture of all pay and a dishonorable discharge.
The Coast Guard says Guzman was convicted of committing a sexual assault in Port Angeles, Washington in May 2014, and then lying to Coast Guard Investigative Service agents about it in July 2015.
The Coast Guard says the incident involved a sexual act against a person incapable of consenting because of alcohol impairment.
