Anthony Aglibot, 25, of Monterey was sentenced to 30 years in state prison for domestic violence and witness intimidation.

On July 11, Aglibot and his girlfriend, Jane Doe 1, got into an argument over a rap song she was listening to with a teenager in the house they rented, according to a press release from the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office. Aglibot began assaulting and repeatedly hitting Jane Doe 1’s face and body, and threatened to kill her. The teenage girl in the room ran out to get her mother, Jane Doe 2, who was also a renter in the home.

When Jane Doe 2 entered the room, she lay on top of Jane Doe 1 to protect her from Aglibot, who then punched her in the face and threatened to kill her.

Once Aglibot stopped assaulting the two women, Jane Doe 1 escaped and fled to a nearby friend’s apartment in Monterey. Aglibot followed her to the apartment and threatened to kill the occupants if Jane Doe 1 didn’t come outside. Police were called and arrested Aglibot. Jane Doe 1 had numerous bruises, a tooth knocked out and had a concussion.

In the weeks after his arrest, Aglibot continued to contact Jane Doe 1 in violation of a court order prohibiting him from contacting her. Multiple times, Aglibot attempted to dissuade Jane Doe 1 from cooperating with the court case. He also asked friends to contact Jane Doe 1 and dissuade her. In one instance Aglibot asked a friend to take others to Jane Doe 1’s residence and intimidate her, but the friend declined.

Aglibot has multiple prior convictions for committing criminal threats against Jane Doe 1. These convictions qualified as “strikes” within California’s Three Strikes Law and resulted in a sentence of 30 years and four months in prison.
