After being accused of assaulting his
wife earlier this year, the Bronx District
Attorney’s Offi ce announced Monday
that charges were dropped against Democrat
New York State Sen. Luis Sepulveda.
According to Patrice O’Shaughnessy,
director of communications for the Offi
ce of the Bronx District Attorney, the
DA dismissed the case because it was
unable to meet the burden of proof
and Sepulveda’s estranged wife, Elizabeth,
40, no longer wished to testify
against her husband.
Marvin Raskin, the attorney for
Sepulveda, spoke to the Bronx Times
about the dismissed charges.
“Mr. Sepulveda states that he has
great respect for the judicial process
which was thorough and diligent,”
Raskin said. “He now plans to move
forward and focus on his family, constituency
and the community he represents.
The senator and I believe justice
was served. We’re glad he can get
back to the business of the senate.”
Sepulveda, 57, who has an alleged
history of violence against his wife,
turned himself in to police on Jan. 12
for allegedly assaulting his spouse.
According to the NYPD, on Jan.
9, police responded to a domestic
incident at 2155 Daly Ave., where
Sepulveda and his wife both claimed
they attacked each other. Sepulveda
allegedly strangled his wife and
claims that his wife punched him in
the face.
He was charged with assault, harassment
and criminal obstruction
of breathing.
After learning of his arrest, the
state Senate stripped him of his
committee chairmanship and assignments.
