A woman tearfully described a romantic relationship that spiraled out of control at the trial of a Sedro-Woolley man who allegedly sent her abusive text messages, left threatening voice mails and set her Beaver-area house on fire on New Year’s Day 2016 while she was in Florida.
Marshall Jay Lewis, a 38-year-old registered sex offender, was in the third day of Clallam County Superior Court proceedings before Judge Brian Coughenour on Wednesday.
Lewis is in the Clallam County jail on $125,000 bail on charges of first-degree arson, residential burglary, telephone harassment, cyberstalking and disclosing intimate images that he allegedly posted on a pornographic website — all felonies with domestic violence enhancements.
Authorities dropped a charge of voyeurism against Lewis, who has had 11 trial continuances and is the longest serving inmate at the jail. He has been incarcerated more than two years after his arrest in mid-January 2016.
