“While in jail, Allen spoke to his cellmates about having strangled his girlfriend to the point of death,” the attorney general said in a statement. “After finding out that the cellmates had passed this information onto the authorities, Allen sexually assaulted one of the inmates when they were re-housed together.”

Allen pleaded on Jan. 30 to one count each of second-degree homicide; attempted dismemberment and mutilation; and attempted criminal sexual conduct, third degree by force, according to officials.

“No sentence will be enough to overcome the grief of the victim’s family, or the anguish suffered by the victims, but hopefully today’s plea will allow the healing process to begin,” Nessel said.

Allen’s sentencing is scheduled for March 3.
