A man who was facing a Feb. 22 trial for multiple sexual assault charges recently pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of assault and battery and received a 12-year suspended sentence.

Larry L. Bunn, 54, of Greenwood, Ark., was originally charged May 13, 2002, in connection with the rape of a 16-year-old girl, who was Bunn's former relative. Bunn was charged with three counts of first-degree rape, two counts of rape by instrumentation, and three counts of sodomy.

According to court records filed Feb. 23, Bunn entered a plea of no contest to assault and battery with the intent to commit a felony. The other counts were dismissed.

Your TIMES was unable to reach the district attorney's office Tuesday for comment about the plea arrangement.

According to court records, the girl reported in April 2002 that she had been living in Muldrow when Bunn sexually assaulted her on numerous occasions starting in 1998.
