The case started Sept. 4 when Casper police detectives were called to the Wyoming Medical Center emergency room in response to a possible sexual assault.

Judge Tori Kricken rejected the sentence and imposed the jail term during a July 11 hearing.

According to charging documents made available Thursday morning, the alleged incident occurred on May 9.

Thompson and the alleged victim live together, according to court documents.

First-degree sexual assault carries a five-year mandatory minimum prison sentence.

The Wyoming Attorney General's Office has 45 days to respond to Cercy's appeal.
