wo men who harassed a gay man last June in Old Town Portland -- then beat up the good Samaritan who came to his defense -- have both been convicted of a hate crime.

Shawn Christopher Siefke and Christian Sanchez-Villavicencio pleaded guilty to second-degree intimidation and fourth-degree assault -- for targeting the man and a good Samaritan who stopped to help last June 25 at about 3 a.m. The gay man was walking from a club near Northwest Second Avenue and Flanders Street when Siefke and Sanchez-Villavicencio stopped him and asked for directions. They started calling him derogatory names. A man who was visiting from Newport told them to stop, and Siefke and Sanchez-Villavicencio pummeled him.

The attackers, who were both drunk, left and the victims flagged down police. The attackers came running back to police -- apparently because they'd stumbled upon a homeless encampment and refused to stop making noise. The homeless people began to beat them.

Siefke, 29, was seen as the instigator and received a stiffer

sentence Thursday in Multnomah County Circuit Court. He was ordered to 30 days jail, 80 hours of community service, anger management classes and possible drug and alcohol treatment. He also must write a letter of apology. The 30 days of jail, however, won't add to the period of time he already will be incarcerated for -- he was sentenced recently to 1 1/2 years in federal prison for selling oxycodone.

Sanchez-Villavicencio was sentenced in November to two years probation and to drug and alcohol treatment, if an evaluator determines it's necessary. He also has written a letter of apology.
