Corey Trivino, the former top scorer for Boston University’s hockey team, pleaded guilty today to assault and battery charges as the woman he terrorized inside her dormitory room in December told him he had changed her life — for the worse.
Corey TrivinoTrivino was ordered to serve two years on probation. During an hourlong hearing in Brighton Municipal Court, Trivino admitted confronting the victim, who was a resident assistant in the BU dorm, when she tried to enforce quiet time on her floor on Dec. 11.
Suffolk Assistant District Attorney Gloriann Moroney said that when the woman told Trivino to quiet down, he followed her down the hallway and back into her room. He twice made contact with his hands on her and then shut the door, isolating her from others on the floor, authorities allege.
Trivino, who was drunk at the time, eventually left the room, giving the woman the chance to summon help.
The woman, who is now a graduate student, delivered a victim impact statement in court today and spoke directly to Trivino, who came to court in a suit and accompanied by his parents.
“This experience has affected every ounce of my being,’’ she said.
Trivino apologized to the woman. “I’m sorry for everything she had to go through because of me that night,’’ he said. “I’m really and truly sorry for what happened.’’
While on probation, Trivino is required to remain drug- and alcohol-free. He is slated to attend an NHL camp later this year and would then fall under the NHL drug and alcohol testing rules. Under the terms of his probation, Trivino is required to share the results of drug testing with his probation officer.
Trivino was kicked off the team after his arrest.
