Sometimes tearfully, but often assertive, a former UW student described her vicious beating at the hands of a stranger in the stairwell of a Langdon Street building.
The testimony came during the trial of 34-year-old Paul Aud. Late Wednesday afternoon, Dane County Judge John Markson convicted Aud of substantial battery and attempted sex assault. Aud followed the victim into her apartment building in August 2006, attacked her and tried to rape her.
