FOREST GROVE, Ore. — The owner of a retirement community west of Portland will serve two days in jail and five years of probation for sexually abusing 12 women.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports 73-year-old Herbert “Howard” Sahnow was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to 11 counts of third-degree sex abuse and one count of attempted third-degree sexual abuse.
Over two dozen other sexual abuse and other charges were dropped as part of a plea agreement, which lawyers say was negotiated with victims’ input.
Sahnow groped and fondled employees and residents of The Elms, the retirement community he owns in Forest Grove.
