The district attorney is pushing for the judge to send Jason Matthew Thornton, 40, to state prison, he said.
San Mateo County prosecutors are pushing for a man accused of beating and attempting to rape his girlfriend in the bathroom of a Belmont restaurant to get prison time given previous convictions for domestic violence and sex crimes in the past 20 years.
When police found Thornton in the area, he denied any attack but officers found the victim’s phone in his possession. He was booked into San Mateo County jail and is currently being held on a $200,000 bond.During a court hearing on June 30 Thornton pleaded not guilty to charges including felony injury of a spouse or girlfriend, felony assault, assault with intent to commit a felony, second-degree armed robbery and felony possession of a controlled substance.
He took plea deals for lesser sentences in the two convictions, resulting in separate sentences that each totaled less than a year in jail. Wagstaffe said prosecutors will focus on Thornton’s past convictions on similarly cruel incidents toward women and the extreme violence in the latest case, including the allegation that he put his hands around the woman’s neck during the June 26 incident.
The accusations in the 2015 incident eerily mirror some of the violent actions he is accused of in the most recent set of charges. About a month later in April 2015, Thornton turned up to the same woman’s apartment looking to get his belongings back after their break-up. The woman asked Thornton to leave, she said, but then he “started to get mad,” threatened her and eventually punched her again, and knocked a phone out of her hands.
