An Orange County judge has sealed the criminal case involving former NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak who was arrested in 2007 for attacking a woman, according to The Orlando Sentinel.

Judge Marc Lubet sealed the case nearly nine months after declining Nowak’s initially request to seal the case. Nowak asked the judge to seal the case, because she said it might prevent her from getting future work, the newspaper reported.

Nowak drew national attention in 2007 when she was arrested outside of the Orlando International Airport on charges of attacking Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman with pepper spray in an airport parking lot.

Nowak believed Shipman was dating her former lover Navy Cmdr. Bill Oefelein, who was also a NASA astronaut.

Nowak was sentenced to 50 hours of community service after pleading guilty to misdemeanor battery and felony burglary of conveyance, according to records.

Many of those details still live on the internet. Nowak has a long Wikipedia page that details nearly every turn in the case. And some of the court documents still exist online.
