He was a no-show in court. A New Haven man convicted of wrongfully entering a 63-year-old woman’s apartment and then sexually assaulting her failed to show up for sentencing.
Between the time he was convicted two months ago and yesterday’s sentencing, 38-year-old Carlos Mejia had been allowed to remain free on bond.
In his absence, Mejia was sentenced to 15 years in prison. And his bond was boosted from $100,000 to $750,000.
