A Fort Smith man who was allowed to plea down from Sexual Assault charges in 2017 in an unadvised deal from the Crawford County :Prosecutor's office is now facing revocation of a six year suspected imposition of sentence after having a charge of Rape filed against him earlier in the week.
Dustin Foster, 38, reportedly faced a conviction for two counts Second Degree Sexual Abuse after the alleged violation of a female family member in 2016. He was allowed to enter a negotiated guilty plea for Aggravated Assault, a Class D Felony.
By doing so, Foster avoided having to register with the state of Arkansas as a sex offender.

Foster was released on a $150,000 bond posted on his behalf on March 13.
