Lowell, Mass. (AP) -- Prosecutors described a longtime state legislator as a "danger to his community" and "out of control" Wednesday after a third woman in as many months accused him of making inappropriate sexual advances.
Sen. James Marzilli, 50, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges he tried to grope a woman at a park in Lowell, then fled police, and to charges he made lewd remarks to another woman.
A prosecutor on Wednesday asked a judge to hold Marzilli without bail for three days.
"The commonwealth feels that the defendant is a danger to the community," prosecutor Richard Mucci said at Marzilli's arraignment. He also said Marzilli was "out of control at this point."
Lowell District Judge Neil Walker rejected the argument. Marzilli was released on $1,500 cash bail on Tuesday night. He is due back in court July 3 for a pretrial hearing.
Authorities were investigating still more allegations, Corey Welford, a spokesman for Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone, said late Wednesday.
"We are looking into the possibility of other related incidents that may have occurred in Lowell yesterday (Tuesday) based on others who have now come forward," Welford said.
Marzilli's lawyer, Terrence Kennedy, said his client "completely and totally denies" the charges.
"I can't comment on the underlying allegations at this point," Kennedy said Wednesday. "The only thing I've seen is the police report."

Everyone knows there are NO Republicans in Massachusetts.
"REPUBLICAN Legislator pleads...."
I’m shocked. :-|
Not true, there ARE Republicans in Mass, but they’re living like Jews did in Nazi Europe by now. I was born in Boston, over 60 years ago, and have been a refugee since about 1977.
Since the party affiliation of the alleged miscreant wasn’t given, he is of course a Democrat.
The party affiliation of the offending Senator isn’t mentioned until the latest end of the article. That can mean only one thing.
Whenever the story is about a reprobate who is a Dim, the party is never mentioned (unless it’s in the last paragraph on page 19). Same with a violent criminal who is a minority: He or she is never identified by any physical characteristics that can identify them.
PC is turning the United States into a prison. But, to those purveyors of P.C., we know who you are! When the SHTF, don’t jump too high when you hear BOO! You may soil your pants.
This is not the same Democratic Party the Bill and Ted belong to.
LOL!

Damn pervert Whigs.
Funny how forced femenized US' and Sister Edward Clare's (my third grade teacher) worldview are now essentially one and the same.
