DALLAS (OR) – Gregory James Paul Chaplin, 39, has been sentenced to serve 48 months in prison for assault and strangulation arising out of a December, 2025 incident in West Salem.
Chaplin, of northeast Salem, was sentenced by Polk County Circuit Judge Rafael A. Caso, after a jury unanimously found him guilty of Felony Strangulation Constituting Domestic Violence and Felony Assault in the Fourth Degree Constituting Domestic Violence. Judge Caso ordered Chaplin to serve an enhanced sentence due to him previously being convicted and imprisoned for assaulting the same victim. Chaplin will also be required to serve a two-year term of Post-Prison Supervision when he is released from prison.
The case was investigated by the Salem Police Department and prosecuted by Polk County Deputy District Attorney Connor Amundson.
