A man accused of assaulting and threatening to kill his girlfriend over an argument about a rap song has been sentenced, California prosecutors say.
Anthony Aglibot, 25, was sentenced to 30 years, 4 months in prison, the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office said in an April 17 news release.
Aglibot’s girlfriend was listening to a rap song with a teenager at a home they rented in Monterey on July 11, prosecutors said.
The pair got into an argument over the song and Aglibot assaulted the girlfriend, “repeatedly hitting her in the face and body,” prosecutors said.
During the assault, prosecutors said, Aglibot threatened to kill her.
The girl ran to get her mother, who also rented the home, prosecutors said.
The woman entered the room to find Aglibot attacking his girlfriend, prosecutors said.
As the woman tried to shield Aglibot’s girlfriend from his assault, Aglibot is accused of hitting her and also threatening to kill her, according to prosecutors.
When Aglibot’s assault stopped, his girlfriend escaped the home and went to a friend’s nearby apartment, prosecutors said.
Aglibot followed her to the apartment, threatening to kill those inside if they did not bring his girlfriend outside, prosecutors said.
Those inside the apartment “were terrified and called 911,” according to prosecutors.
Police officers arrived and arrested Aglibot, prosecutors said.
Aglibot’s attack left his girlfriend with a concussion, a missing tooth and “numerous bruises that lasted for multiple weeks,” prosecutors said.
Despite “a court order prohibiting him from contacting” his girlfriend, Aglibot contacted her on multiple occasions, trying to dissuade her from cooperating with officials, prosecutors said.
Aglibot also asked other friends to convince her to drop the case, prosecutors said.
In one attempt, Aglibot asked that a friend take others with him to the girlfriend’s home and “intimidate her,” prosecutors said.
The friend, however, declined, prosecutors said.
Aglibot previously pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including “corporal injury on a dating partner resulting in great bodily injury, criminal threats, and intimidating a witness,” a Monterey County District Attorney’s spokesperson said in an April 22 email.
With multiple previous convictions that qualified as “strikes” under California’s Three Strikes Law, Aglibot “received a sentence of 30 years and 4 months in prison,” prosecutors said.
