What was Alfred Ruff convicted of and what sentence did he receive?

Alfred Ruff pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated battery last year and was subsequently sentenced to four years in prison for his crime. The judge cited several aggravating factors in the case, specifically noting that Ruff was aware of his wife's disability, which made her more vulnerable to his actions. Additionally, the court determined that Ruff had opportunities to remove himself from their troubled relationship through other means rather than resorting to criminal behavior. The judge considered the wife's disability and Ruff's failure to pursue alternative solutions as significant factors warranting the four-year prison sentence.
