Washington man who raped overdosing woman and mocked her death gets 34 months in prison

A Washington man will serve 34 months in prison after pleading guilty to 2nd Degree Manslaughter, 3rd Degree Rape, and Unlawful Disposal of Remains, reports KOMO News.


Brian Varela, 20, has admitted he gave drugs to 18-year-old Alyssa Noceda last February. He raped her after she passed out from the overdosed in his bedroom.

Rather than help her, he sent photos of unclothed body to his buddies with mocking comments.

After Noceda died, Varela dumped her body in a crate in his house to try to hide it.

Washington state's sentencing guidelines meant Varela could not be sent to prison for more than 34 months for the rape and death, because he had no prior record.

"I'm sorry for my foolish actions. Whatever I get is what I deserve," he said during his sentencing.

With time served, Varela will be back on the streets in about two years.
