Senator James Marzilli Arrested on Assault Charges
The 50-year-old allegedly approached a woman who was sitting on a park bench. He made an “inappropriate comment” before allegedly attempting to touch her in a sexual way. The woman resisted Marzilli and called police.
When police approached the senator, he reportedly gave them a false name and ran from officers. He was arrested and taken to jail. Marzilli was released on $1,500 bail.
Marzilli’s lawyer, Terrence Kennedy, says his client “completely and totally denies” the “ridiculous” allegations.
This is not the first time that Marzilli has been accused to assaulting a woman. Last April, a woman accused him of indecent assault. Marzilli was never charged in the case because of insufficient evidence.
