[h=1]Rep. Carlos Henriquez (D) sentenced to six months behind bars for assaulting Arlington woman[/h]
State Representative Carlos Henriquez was sentenced today to serve six months in the Middlesex County House of Correction after he was convicted of charges that he assaulted an Arlington woman he was dating in July 2012.
A Cambridge District Court jury convicted Henriquez on two assault and battery charges, but acquitted the Dorchester Democrat of a third assault and battery charge, one count of witness intimidation, and one count of larceny under $250.
The victim, Katherine Gonzalves, testified about the events that unfolded on July 8, 2012, and underwent a rigorous cross-examination by Henriquez’s defense attorney, Stephanie Soriano-Mills.
Following the verdict, Judge Michele Hogan expressed concern that Henriquez was not accepting responsibility for his actions. She told Henriquez from the bench that he should have ended his interactions with Gonzalves early that morning when Gonzalves told him she was not interested in having intimate relations.
“When a woman tells you she doesn’t want to have sex, she doesn’t want to have sex,’’ Hogan said, adding that she was “very concerned that you’re not remorseful.’’
Hogan sentenced Henriquez to 2½ years, with six months to be served behind bars. Henriquez, who did not take the stand, appeared calm today as he listened to the verdicts. He was expressionless as Hogan imposed the sentence.
He was stoic as court officers handcuffed him and led him out of the courtroom to await transportation by the Middlesex County sheriff’s department.
Leonard H. Kesten, lawyer for the victim, said, “She is gratified. She always told the truth, she didn’t want to be in the media, she didn’t want to be beaten.”
