Military doctor convicted of assaulting wife at home

A former Army medic was sentenced Friday to 30 years in prison for attacking his wife and duct-taping her to a pole in their basement, the Fairfax County, Virginia, commonwealth’s attorney said. The incident, in September 2020, happened about a month after the defendant, Drew Steiner, 61, raped and illegally filmed a woman he met online. He is already serving 10 years in prison for that.

“Mr. Steiner committed a series of attacks in late 2020, and this conviction marks the end of a painful saga for everyone involved,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano said in a statement obtained by Law&Crime. “While he is already serving a 10-year sentence in a separate case, this sentence helps reassure our community that Steiner can no longer endanger our neighbors.”
