HURLEY - A Hurley man may have no criminal record of committing a sexual assault, despite the exchange of bodily fluids according to the victim and a no contest plea to a third-degree sexual assault felony charge.  Yesterday, in Iron County Circuit Court in Hurley a plea and sentencing hearing was held in a case regarding an incident where an exotic dancer reported she was sexually assaulted by Brandon Frazer while working at Shooter’s Bar in Hurley’s lower block back on Sep. 6^th of last year, an incident that was captured on camera.  In the criminal complaint filed against Frazer, the charge was listed as third-degree sexual assault, which is a felony. However, the court did not find facts supporting that charge in its preliminary hearing and amended the charge to fourth-degree sexual assault, a misdemeanor.  A plea agreement was accepted yesterday, which amends the charge back to third-degree sexual assault. The agreement defers judgment for a year, and if Frazer follows the stipulations of the agreement, the charge would be amended to disorderly conduct. Frazer accepted the agreement and pleaded no contest to the third-degree sexual assault charge.  The victim in the case said in a victim impact statement that she doesn’t agree with the agreement saying in part that sexual assault is often normalized for dancers and many do not report it.
