Bondi had been found guilty of felony sexual assault in June.
Before the sentencing, Circuit Judge Thomas Padrick had received evidence that included a statement from a woman who said she was assaulted by Bondi in 1992. The judge also reviewed a Child Protective Services report about an assault committed on a 15-year-old girl on a Young Life bus in 1997.
