STAMFORD (AP) A man accused of choking a woman to unconsciousness after meeting her through the Tinder dating app has applied for pre-trial probation and hopes his criminal charge can be erased. But a prosecutor says strangulation is too serious a crime for the program.
Socrates Alicea is charged with first-degree strangulation but applied for accelerated rehabilitation in Stamford Superior Court on Thursday. The program results in criminal charges being erased if a probation period is successfully completed.
Senior Assistant State s Attorney Joseph Valdes said he will oppose Alicea s request, citing the seriousness of the allegations and evidence that has yet to be released, the Stamford Advocate reported.
