ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 The Orange-Osceola State Attorney\u2019s Office says it\u2019s reviewing what it calls a prosecutor\u2019s \u201coversight\u201d after a man accused of attacking a jogger near College Park<\/a> took a plea deal last month and served no prison time.<\/p>\n

Tyler Feight, 26, was arrested in April after a woman told Orlando police that she was attacked while jogging in the 1800 block of Northumberland Ave. <\/p>\n

The victim told police that the suspect had struck her to the ground and attempted to overpower her before she began to kick and scream, causing him to run away. Feight \u2014 spotted later that morning sleeping nearby and seen to match the suspect description \u2014 was detained after the victim managed to get home and call 911, police said, adding the victim suffered minor injuries.<\/p>\n

After Feight was arrested to face charges of battery and attempted sexual battery, given a $30,000 total bond in the matter, the state attorney\u2019s office said within the week that the circumstances had even led to his bond being revoked from a February case<\/a> in Winter Park that reportedly involved trespassing and resisting officers.<\/p>\n

Though Feight would remain in jail due to that no-bond status, court records show the charge of attempted sexual battery was dropped in late April after review by the state attorney\u2019s office\u2019s sex-crimes section, according to a statement released this week.<\/p>\n

Come Nov. 20, allegedly with the victim\u2019s approval, Feight was allowed to plead no contest to the battery charge, the statement reads. He was then sentenced to three years of probation and a 225-day sentence which, when paired with credit for 225 days served, was canceled out, records show.<\/p>\n

This week, the state attorney\u2019s office called the decision to withhold adjudication \u201can oversight by the prosecutor\u201d and said the prosecutor, an assistant state attorney, would be reviewed by his supervisors.<\/p>\n

Feight was arrested for Attempted Sexual Battery and Battery (one prior Battery). Our sex crimes section evaluated the case and the facts supported filing formal charges for Battery (One Prior Battery). The case was then transferred to a general prosecution division. On 11\/20\/25 Feight pled to Battery (One Prior Battery) and was sentenced to 3 years of probation with a psychosexual evaluation and treatment, no contact with the victim, and no return within a 3-block radius of the incident. Feight was given credit for 225 days he served in jail. The victim approved the plea offer.<\/p>\n

The decision to withhold adjudication was an oversight by the prosecutor. The prosecutor\u2019s immediate supervisors have been notified and will review the matter and take appropriate personnel action. The prosecutor was Assistant State Attorney Zachary Cole.<\/p>\n

SAO-9 statement<\/p>\n

No other details had been shared or confirmed at the time of this report, such as which actions against the prosecutor could result from his supervisors\u2019 review process.<\/p>\n
