BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut man who beat and sexually assaulted a college student while on probation for previous crimes faces 20 years in prison.
The Connecticut Post reports that 23-year-old Tysaaun Anderson pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges including first-degree aggravated sexual assault.
Prosecutors say the 22-year-old victim had just gotten off a city bus and head headphones on in February 2017 when Anderson knocked her to the ground with a blow to the head. He then dragged the victim to a driveway where the assault took place.
The victim suffered a fractured eye socket that required facial reconstructive surgery.
Anderson was identified as the assailant from DNA and surveillance video.
Police say he had been out of prison a couple of weeks and was still on probation.
Formal sentencing is Jan. 11.
