PHILADELPHIA — Anthony Ortiz, 34, was sentenced on June 10, 2025, to between 4½ and 13 years in state prison for repeatedly assaulting his girlfriend and attempting to intimidate her to prevent her from testifying against him.
Ortiz entered an open guilty plea before Common Pleas Judge Stephen A. Corr, admitting to charges including strangulation, intimidation of witnesses, unlawful restraint, simple assault, harassment, and recklessly endangering another person.
Due to the serious nature of his offenses, Judge Corr imposed a sentence within the aggravated range of sentencing guidelines. Along with prison time, Ortiz was ordered to undergo domestic violence supervision, avoid any contact with his victims, and complete a mental health evaluation.
The charges arose from three separate domestic assaults occurring in June, July, and August of 2024.
