The victim was taking her dog for a walk and had just left her Sonoma Avenue apartment Colombano approached her and rubbed his erect penis on her buttocks, the District Attorney's Office said. When the woman tried to avoid him, Colombano began beating her with a closed fist and then used a landscaping rock to repeatedly smash her in the face, the DA's Office said.
However, Judge Dana Simonds disagreed with the recommendations and, citing Colombano's cannabis consumption, stress and mental health issues, sentenced him to probation, allowing for his release from custody, according to the press release.
