Trio Sentenced in Staged Waldo Sex Assault
KANSAS CITY, MO. - Three people have been sentenced for staging an assault to influence a sexual harassment suit against a Kansas City luxury car dealer.

Prosecutors said two women offered $100,000 to Gordon Reabe Jr. to attack them and sexually assault one of them in November 2008.

The 52-year-old Lee's Summit man was sentenced Friday in federal court to one year and one day in prison without parole for the assault.

One of the women, 39-year-old Julie Bernet of Bucyrus, Kan., was sentenced to five months in a residential re-entry center followed by five months of home confinement. The other woman, 24-year-old Lindsey Crawford of Kansas City, was sentenced to three years probation.

Prosecutors say the goal was to increase damages in a lawsuit the woman had filed against their former employer.
