At his sentencing, the woman called Bozzett evil and controlling and said she had tried for two years to break up with him, said the Stamford Advocate.

Bozzett was charged two years ago with first-degree sexual assault, first-degree unlawful restraint, second-degree strangulation, third-degree assault and second-degree threatening. He has been held on $100,000 bond and pleaded guilty in January to sexual assault and strangulation, the Advocate said.

Bozzett was also sentenced to 25 years of probation and issued a restraining order that would keep him from contacting the woman until he is 94 years old, the story said. Bozzett apologized for the attack and said he still loved the woman, added the Stamford Advocate.
