SEDGWICK COUNTY —A Kansas man was sentenced for repeated, violent attacks on a woman.

District Judge Bruce Brown sentenced Will Johnson, 35 of Wichita, to just over 19-years in prison, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.

Judge Brown sentenced Johnson on four consolidated cases involving the same victim.

The most serious attack occurred on August 29, 2019. Police were called to Wesley Medical Center and found a 29-year-old woman who had been beaten, strangled and stabbed. Doctors told police she also had a broken jaw and multiple cuts to her body.

Johnson told police the woman was attacked by someone along railroad tracks when she walked to his house. But police found blood throughout his house and two surveillance cameras. The video showed Johnson’s attack of the victim.

In March, Johnson pled guilty to attempted first degree murder, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, eight counts of aggravated battery, aggravated assault, robbery, two counts of aggravated domestic battery, four violations of a protective order and three counts of domestic battery.
