Ex-RF teen sentenced to jail for sexual assault

Adrian Clausen sat in a Pierce County courtroom Friday awaiting his future after pleading guilty to sexual assault.
Clausen was hoping the two determining factors for his sentence--jail time and registry--would swing in his favor.
While the 18-year-old got a reprieve with the registry, he wasn’t as fortunate with jail.
“If the offender doesn’t go to jail, that tells the victim that she is responsible for this,” Pierce County Circuit Court Judge Robert Wing said. “It’s clear in this case that she isn’t in any way responsible.”
With that in mind, Wing sentenced Clausen, a former River Falls resident, who now lives in St. Paul, to 90 days jail. The jail term is a condition of probation, for which Clausen was placed on for the next three years.
