Mawhinney is a founding member of the Bloomfield law firm of Markowitz & Mawhinney, according to the firm website. Mawhinney is accused of rape in his hometown of South Windsor on January 21, 2019, court records show.
Kent Douglas Mawhinney, 54, is charged with sexual assault in a spousal or cohabiting relationship, second-degree unlawful restraint, and disorderly conduct.
He is accused of committing those crimes Jan. 21 and was arrested that same day, according to the records, which show that he is free on $5,000 bond.
Mawhinney’s case has been transferred from Manchester Superior Court to the section of Hartford Superior Court that handles the region’s most serious criminal cases.
Connecticut’s law on sexual assault in a spousal or cohabiting relationship prohibits anyone from compelling the person’s spouse or live-in companion to engage in any act that the law defines as sexual intercourse through the use or threat of force.
The crime carries a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison and a maximum of 20 years.
Mawhinney was originally charged with second-degree sexual assault rather than the current charge, according to a news release issued by South Windsor police shortly after he was arrested.
That information comes from a report by South Windsor police Officer Edmund J. Klein that police gave the Journal Inquirer in response to a freedom-of-information request. Police had initially denied a reporter’s request for the report.
