Former state Sen. Joseph “Jim” Marzilli pleaded guilty today to accosting four women while on state business in Lowell in a bizarre sex-crazed spree that destroyed his career.
One of the Arlington Democrat’s victims was handicapped, police have said.
Lowell Superior Court Judge Paul Chernoff is expected to sentence Marzilli within the hour.
In addition to four counts of accosting and annoying a person of the opposite sex, Marzilli also pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. He also admitted to sufficient facts to find him guilty of indecent assault and battery.
None of Marzilli’s victims were in court this morning and he did not address the court.
The attacks all occurred on June 3, 2008, where according to court records he said to one victim: “The sex is sweet. The sex is sweet and you want to go with me.”
Terrence Kennedy, the attorney for Marzilli, said earlier today that he will ask that Marzilli be sentenced to probation. He says prosecutors have told him that they intend to ask for a year-long jail sentence.
After his arrest, Marzilli was treated at a psychiatric hospital for bipolar disorder.
Howie Carr list ping. Michele McPhee is in for Howie today. She called him “Jimmy Marzilli, who thinks with his willie”. Howie has called him “The Perv in the Prius”
Howie column flashback to 2008; I had posted it here on FR
Pol’s bench talk speaks volumes
By Howie Carr | Friday, July 18, 2008 | http://www.bostonherald.com
Sen. Jim Marzilli, the alleged perv in a Prius, proudly told his moonbat constituents in Arlington more than two years ago that he liked to sit on park benches and strike up conversations with female strangers.
And yet these limousine liberals continue to make excuses for the Menotomy masher, even after seven women have stepped forward to accuse him of various dastardly deeds.
The indicted Socialist’s musings on women and park benches appeared on the main moonbat Web site in his ultra-PC hometown back in January 2006. The context was the doomed bill that would have given illegal aliens basically a free ride at state colleges.
In his posting, then-Rep. Marzilli talked about how many illegals he knew from his habit of hanging out on park benches in Maverick Square in East Boston while waiting for his wife to arrive on flights home to Logan.
Riiiiight. One of the nonmoonbat posters called Marzilli on his whopper. On Jan. 19, 2006, Marzilli responded, and at this point, let’s go back and forth between Marzilli’s description of his m.o. and the commonwealth’s case against him involving Victim #4 from June 3.
Marzilli: “I sit on one of the benches near the Maverick MBTA station with reading material.”
Commonwealth: “She sat down on the bench . . . Marzilli then turned around and sat very close to her.”
Marzilli: “Generally, women are more willing to talk than men and I don’t try to talk to anyone under the age of 30.”
Commonwealth: “Marzilli then moved his hand and eyes toward her vaginal area. He was within inches of her body.”
Marzilli: “Many people are glad to talk.”
Commonwealth: “Victim #4 leaned away as far as she could and screamed, ‘Don’t you dare touch me!’ ”
Marzilli: “Yes, I do talk with a LOT of immigrants.”
Commonwealth: “Victim #4 was afraid; she did not know what this man was going to do to her.”
Marzilli: “You can try it in Somerville (Winter Hill), Everett and Malden too. Wait until the weather gets warmer. It is easier on your butt and people are more inclined to linger.”
Commonwealth: “Workers inside 16 Middle Street saw how distressed Victim #4 was and she told them what had occurred outside.”
Here’s a question for all you moonbats. If Sen. Marzilli has bi-polar disorder, why didn’t he admit it after the first (of seven) women came forward and get himself some help then? Instead, Marzilli dusted off the old Bill Clinton defense and attacked his accuser’s credibility.
The moonbats don’t care. All of their handles should be the same: Alibi Ike. Sexual assault? Big deal.
“Is a sexual advance or attack on women categorically different from any other crime or failure?”
They’re kidding, right? No, they’re not kidding. When a liberal assaults a woman, it’s not a crime, it’s a “medical disability.”
Next, a woman named Barbara, with her theory: “Imagine you were in an accident, suffered a serious head injury and went to the hospital. . . . A few weeks later you behave in a way that is described as lewd or harassing. What is your responsibility for your behavior?”
Only one problem: Sen. Aqualung didn’t have an accident.
Another moonbat mentioned a case with a 15-year-old who rode his bike over a parking garage wall and plunged several stories.
“Before this incident he was a normal teen. After it, he was disinhibited, including eating non foods (?), and lewd and assaultive behavior.”
Only one problem: Sen. Aqualung didn’t drive a bike off a parking deck.
How about my theory, moonbats? Maybe your idol went up in a spaceship built by George Soros to shoot down the Halliburton Hurricane machine that Karl Rove and Dick Cheney used to destroy New Orleans with Katrina, and on his way back to earth, Sen. Aqualung’s spaceship traveled though some comet dust . . . and that’s what caused his disinhibitions.
It’s up to the cops now. District Attorney Leone, maybe you should check the police reports in Everett, Malden and Somerville. Attorney Gen. Martha Coakley, how come a private attorney had to file for a civil-rights injunction against Marzilli? Why is your silence on this alleged one-perv crime wave against women as deafening as that of Gov. Deval Patrick and Senate President Therese Murray?
And one final theory that I predict all the moonbats in Arlington can get behind. What if George Bush secretly drugged Sen. Marzilli with a disinhibition potion? In other words, like everything else, this is all Bush’s fault.

Please tell me that he’ll have to register as a level 2 or 3 sex offender...
I’d hope so but keep in mind he is a Democrat
I remember when Michael Kennedy had accusations of sex with the teen babysitter. Someone called up Howie’s chumpline and sang, to the tune of Clint Holmes’ Playground in my mind, “My name is Michael/ I am a Kennedy/ Therefore there’s no way these charges can stand...”
BREAKING
James Marzilli sentenced to 3 months in jail
(checking in, Red Roof Inn)
“Is the pornography in my room disabled?”
“You sick SOB—it’s just regular porno!”
“In addition to four counts of accosting and annoying a person of the opposite sex, Marzilli also pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. He also admitted to sufficient facts to find him guilty of indecent assault and battery.”
Of course, in MA, it’s not illegal to accost or annoy someone of the same sex even if that person doesn’t want to participate. In fact, it’s probably an offense not to participate.
It sounds like he is suffering from unipolar disorder = a one track mind.
