Following a two-week trial in June of 2021, an Anchorage jury found Jenkins guilty of sexual assault in the first degree, and assault in the second, third, and fourth degrees.

The evidence at trial established that in 2017 Jenkins assaulted his girlfriend with a golf club, strangled her, and then sexually assaulted her.

The jury also heard evidence of a previous domestic violence assault against another victim by Jenkins.

In addition to the 35 years to serve, Judge Saxby suspended an additional 15 years of prison time and placed Jenkins on probation for 15 years.

In sentencing Jenkins, Judge Saxby found that this sexual assault was particularly egregious and deserved an aggravated sentence.
