Superior Court Presiding Judge Robert C. Naraja imposed a six-month jail term on Silvano Corpuz Jacinto, but all suspended with credit for 12 days he already served in prison.
“If [Jacinto] commits another act of domestic violence during the term of his probation, he shall be subject to revocation, sentenced to a minimum of three months in jail, without the possibility of parole,” Naraja ordered.
Jacinto is placed on six months probation for the remainder of his sentence.
He will pay a $100 court assessment fee within 30 days, a $60 probation fee in five months, and $100 fine within five months.
Jacinto will undergo counseling at the Community Guidance Center and successfully complete a treatment for anger management.
He will also undergo a drug and alcohol abuse assessment at the center and follow any recommended treatment plan. He must obey all federal and CNMI laws.
Jacinto was arrested after he arrived drunk at the house of his victim. He “squeezed her face with his hands and told her he’s going to burn the house and then kill her,” police said.
Assistant Attorney General Peter B. Prestley prosecuted the case while Jacinto was represented by Assistant Public Defender Douglas Hartig.
