SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – A man who deputies said attacked a woman on a popular Seminole County trail was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years in prison, followed by two years of sex offender probation.
Patrick Gamache, who had agreed to a no-contest plea deal with prosecutors in March, had his new attorney file to withdraw that deal before sentencing.
On Tuesday, Gamache withdrew his own request to pull the plea, effectively asking the judge to reinstate the original March agreement. The judge agreed.
Gamache will also be required to register as a sex offender upon his release.

Deputies arrested Gamache after he attacked a woman on the Seminole Wekiva Trail in August. Prosecutors said he left behind a scooter and a shirt, and a traffic camera spotted him walking along Interstate 4 less than 24 hours later.
Gamache had an active out-of-state warrant for a drug charge at the time of his arrest. He also told deputies he had been released from jail in Miami-Dade County just days before the attack.
