Description

RABINOWITZ, Chief Justice. OPINION. During the early morning of March 21, 1977, Anthony Shelton in a state of intoxication banged on the door of a house in Alakanuk, Alaska and demanded to be let in. Shelton told the woman who occupied the house that he was a relative of her husband (who was then hospitalized in Bethel) and threatened to burn the place down if she did not let him in. Alarmed, she admitted him. Once in the house he attempted to rape her, threatening to kill her and her daughter if she did not cooperate, but ran away when the victim's daughter escaped to a neighboring house seeking help. Shelton was charged with attempted rape and assault with intent to commit rape. He eventually turned himself in to the police and after arraignment was released on his own recognizance. One week subsequent to arraignment and release and six weeks after March 21, 1977, he again late at night, forced his way into another house in Alakanuk occupied only by a woman and her son. On this occasion, Shelton raped the victim, also placing her in fear for her life. Shelton was convicted on the attempted rape charge stemming from the first incident. He was sentenced to a five-year jail term. Shelton then pled nolo contendere to the rape charge arising from the second occasion and was sentenced to a fifteen-year prison term, five years of which was made to run concurrently with the five-year sentence for attempted rape. 1 Shelton appeals from this sentence claiming that it is excessive.
