SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -- Spokane County prosecutors have filed additional rape charges against a man accused of sexually assaulting a woman in an interrogation room at Fairchild Air Force Base.

The Spokesman-Review reports 32-year-old Michael W. Fassbender is a civilian contract instructor at Fairchild's survival school. He's accused of taking a woman there in October on a date to show her torture devices. His lawyer says Fassbender denies the allegations.

Fassbender was arrested Oct. 20 on one rape charge and bailed out of jail the next day. On Thursday prosecutors amended charges to three counts of rape and one count of assault.

Court documents says Fassbender choked the woman into unconsciousness during the assaults.

tobyjones, He IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE MILITARY. And dont for get the thousands in the military that have died so that you can have your freedom to sit in you chair in front of your computer and criticize the Armed Forces. Until you get the guts to serve and put your life on the line for people you dont even know I suggest you keep you mouth shut.

Just the kind of trash the sleazy SERE program and it's twisted Spokane shrinks brought here. I see the program also attracted a population of future torturers with, surprise, surprise, no integrity whatsoever.
