(Mandan, ND) — A man accused of sexually assaulting a Mandan woman in her home last June is reportedly willing to accept a plea deal. Forty-six-year-old Varion Hetle would have his felony gross imposition charge reduced to gross sexual imposition if the judge accepts his plea. However, the judge has ordered a presentence investigation before the deal moves forward. If the deal is accepted, Hetle would face a recommended sentence of 360 days in prison sentence with credit for 78 days served.
