Ontario man sentenced for spousal abuse

RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- A judge sentenced a 32-year-old man to 240 days in jail today for an August attack on his wife of nine years.

Juan Marrafo Cisneros pleaded no contest to one count of spousal abuse in West Valley Superior Court last month as part of a plea bargain reached with prosecutors.

He was initially charged with attempted murder, but that charge was dropped when Cisneros took the plea bargain.

Prosecutors accused Cisneros of attacking his wife at the couple's Ontario home following an argument over the wife's treatment of their children.

Cisneros' wife initially told police that her husband's attack was extensive and brutal, but she took back many of her accusations in subsequent interviews, prosecutors said.
