An employee of the Commonwealth Utilities Corp. power division was arrested yesterday for allegedly beating up his girlfriend after her birthday party at their home in Dandan. <\/p>\n
Jose Olopai Rabauliman, 41, was hauled to court for a bail hearing on charges of assault and battery and disturbing the peace.<\/p>\n
Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho retained the original $10,000 cash bail that Associate Judge Wesley Bogdan had earlier imposed on Rabauliman.<\/p>\n
Preliminary hearing will be on Jan. 29 at 1:30pm.<\/p>\n
Police officer Jenny Rose A. Butalon stated in her report that she responded yesterday at 1:27am to a domestic violence call made by the victim, who was at the Dandan baseball field.<\/p>\n
Butalon said the victim\u2019s eyes were red and puffy and her face was swollen.<\/p>\n
Butalon said that, according to the victim, Rabauliman punched her in the chest twice and her head several times.<\/p>\n
The victim told police that she is scared for her safety and their children.<\/p>\n
A police officer arrested Rabauliman at 2:16am.<\/p>\n
In 2000, a jury convicted Rabauliman of kidnapping, rape, and assault and battery of two women on the morning of March 28, 1998. Three other co-defendants were also convicted. Rabauliman was sentenced in May 2000 to 30 years of imprisonment.<\/p>\n
Rabauliman appealed, but the CNMI Supreme Court affirmed his conviction and subsequent sentencing. He was reportedly released on parole in 2008. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
