Danford Grant, the Seattle attorney who pled guilty to rape and burglary in attacks on massage therapists, including one case in Shoreline, was given 25 years. The number of cases against him was reduced in a plea deal where he pled guilty and avoided a trial.
According to our news partner KING5.com,
Danford Grant could be released on parole after 15 years. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.
Prosecutors said Grant’s victims were so traumatized, they didn’t want to face him in court at his sentencing. Prosecutors say he intimidated the Asian immigrants into sex thinking they wouldn’t go to police because of shame or their history in the sex trade. In at least one case, prosecutors say Grant brandished a knife.
