TOM SIZEMORE CONVICTED OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

description

Tom Sizemore was convicted in a Los Angeles courtroom recently of one count each of domestic violence, criminal threats and vandalism and three counts of making obscene phone calls to ex-girlfriend Heidi Fleiss.

Fleiss testified in court that Sizemore hit her, burned her with a cigarette and verbally abused her while they were involved.

After the verdict, Sizemore told reporters that he would “like to put this behind me now and do what I’ve always loved doing – making movies.”

“Domestic violence is a destructive physical and psychological crime that often goes unreported due to the fear the aggressor inflicts on the victim,” said City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo. “Today’s verdict sends a strong message that neither socioeconomic status nor perceived celebrity will shield domestic abusers from the law.”

Sizemore is scheduled for sentencing in this case on October 2 and faces a possible sentence of four years in prison. He is currently free on $100,000 bail.
