Prosecutors seek more restrictions on state trooper awaiting rape trial
Prosecutors want more restrictions on a state police trooper out on bail while he awaits trial on rape and assault charges, reports The Boston Globe.
State Trooper Robert Sundberg faces 14 criminal counts that include two counts of rape, strangulation or suffocation, and stalking. Sundberg has pleaded not guilty.
Sundberg has a pattern of violence and erratic behavior, according to court documents unsealed Monday.
He allegedly threatened to “bury” his former girlfriend of six years, who is also a trooper, because she came forward against him, prosecutors say. Prosecutors want Sundberg’s GPS monitor in “lockdown mode,” which restricts his movements, and they want him to submit to random drug and alcohol tests.
Edward P. Ryan Jr., Sundberg’s lawyer, said the motion seeking new bail conditions is “replete with unfair characterizations, opinions and conclusions of the prosecutor not supported by the evidence.”
