(Courtesy: KTVZ) – Thomas Bray, a 45-year-old former anesthesiologist and former part-time anatomy instructor at Central Oregon Community College, was sentenced Monday to 15 years in prison for a brutal sexual assault he committed in 2011, after the Oregon Supreme Court remanded the case to Deschutes County last year.
Bray met the victim in 2011 on an online dating site, District Attorney John Hummel said Tuesday in a news release announcing the sentencing. (The site was match.com, according to previous news accounts.)
Shortly after matching online, they met for drinks at a downtown Bend restaurant. After a few drinks, they walked to Bray’s apartment, where he mixed the victim another drink. Shortly after finishing her drink, she felt lightheaded, Hummel said.
Bray “then brutally assaulted her for an extended period of time, resulting in visible injuries to her jaw, eye, neck, shoulder, and upper back,” Hummel said.
Bray was convicted at a 2012 trial and sentenced to 25 years in prison on two counts of first-degree rape, two counts of first-degree sodomy and one count each of strangulation and fourth-degree assault.
