A Santa Rosa native and prominent rock climber has been sentenced to life in federal prison for sexual assaults he committed at Yosemite National Park.
A Santa Rosa native and prominent rock climber has been sentenced to life in federal prison for sexual assaults he committed at Yosemite National Park, federal prosecutors said Tuesday. Charles Barrett, 40, was found guilty in February of two counts of aggravated sexual abuse and one count of abusive sexual contact that occurred over a weekend at the park, where he lived and worked.
"His violent sexual assaults were devastating to the victims, who he later threatened in the lead-up to trial." Prosecutors said that Barrett made "hundreds" of phone calls while in custody prior to his sentencing, and in the calls "he showed no remorse or regret." "Instead, he threatened to use violence and vindictive lawsuits against the victims, claiming that they designed a conspiracy to run his life," the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
