A Springfield man charged with two counts of first-degree rape last year was sentenced to no prison time.

David Dees, 53, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of attempted first-degree rape Friday. Judge Debra Vogt sentenced him to five years of probation and 30 days in the Lane County Jail, which was considered already served. A second charge of first-degree rape was dismissed.

The rapes allegedly occurred in 2016. First-degree rape is a Measure 11 offense that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of eight years, four months.

Dees’ trial, which was scheduled for October, is canceled.
