Mass. state senator indicted for sexual harassment
Quote:
BOSTON (AP) -- A Massachusetts grand jury on Tuesday indicted a state senator on charges that he allegedly sexually harassed four women in a single day in Lowell before giving a false identity to police officers and fleeing from the scene.
State Sen. James Marzilli, 50, faces charges of attempting to commit indecent assault and battery, annoying and accosting people of the opposite sex, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone said.
No date has been scheduled for the arraignment of the Democrat from Arlington, but authorities expected Marzilli's court appearance to be scheduled next week, Leone said.
"Sometime next week, in Lowell Superior Court, Jim Marzilli is going to plead not guilty," Marzilli's attorney Terrence Kennedy said.
"We knew the indictments were coming. They told us last week that they intend to seek indictments in these matters," Kennedy said. "We are prepared to defend them."
Prosecutors say on June 3, Marzilli made sexually explicit remarks to four women and attempted to sexually touch one of them.
Marzilli approached the fourth woman outside an apartment, and two people nearby reported the incident to police. Marzilli gave a false name and address to an officer who responded to the scene, prosecutors said.
He was arrested in a parking garage where authorities apprehended him after he ran away, Leone said in a statement.

That sounds like the actions of an innocent man: Lie to the police and then run away.
