"I accept your sentence, and I laugh," 41-year-old Charles Christopher Loy told Judge James Sawyer in court Monday. Loy pled guilty on September 10 to an amended charge of assault in the first degree and fblony ha- rassment. He was initially charged with rape in the second degree and felony assault in the wake of an incident involving a 19- year-old cellmate from Shelton, whom he threatened and fbreed to perform oral sex, according to charging documents. Loy told a detective investigating the case that his neo-Nazi beliefs do not allow homosexual practices. Loy, who is currently serving a lif sentence for a King Coun- ty murder and was convicted in Nevada of first-degree robbery, told the court Monday: "From the beginning I've claimed that this conviction is for one reason only: I am a proud member of a skinhead organization."
