Magazine salesman ordered to prison for '08 American Fork assault

AMERICAN FORK — A door-to-door magazine salesman who pleaded guilty to beating and sexually assaulting a woman who let him in her home following a sales pitch has been ordered to prison.

Brian Mask, 28, of Chicago, was sentenced to three years to life in prison for attempted murder, a first-degree felony, and one to 15 years for forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony. Fourth District Judge James Taylor ordered the sentences to run concurrent with each other.

He also ruled that Mask pay nearly $14,000 in restitution and a fine totaling $19,066.

The 58-year-old woman had opened her door on Aug. 25, 2008, to listen to Mask's sales pitch and then briefly allowed Mask inside to get her signature, police said.
