A pair of Stafford County men are headed to prison for a decade for having sex with a highly intoxicated woman and then leaving her unconscious in a Stafford neighborhood.

Nathan D. Maly, 22, and Nicholas T. Scroggin, 21, were each sentenced on Monday in Stafford Circuit Court to 10 years for their roles in an August 2014 incident in which a young woman was sexually assaulted and later left under a tree.

The men pleaded guilty to two counts each of abduction by deception earlier this year after a previous failed plea agreement, according to court records. In the final agreement, one count carries the 10-year sentence and the second count carries a suspended one-year sentence.

The men were allowed to withdraw their first pleas because of a disagreement about whether they’d have to be on the state sex offender registry. The revised agreement allows the men to avoid the sex offender registry.

Prosecutors have said that Maly and Scroggin would have both been tried on rape charges had their cases gone to trial.
