Remember that groping case the Middlesex County DA's office wouldn't bring against Jim Marzilli for lack of evidence before he got charged with finding just a bit too much to like about Lowell? He's now been charged after all.

Allegedly grabby state senator charged with assaulting four women in Lowell

A Middlesex County grand jury today indicted Arlington state Sen. James Marzilli on charges he went after four women in Lowell on June 3, the Middlesex County DA's office says.

Marzilli is formally charged with "annoying and accosting" three women and indecent assault and battery, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and annoying and accosting a person of the opposite sex in connection with a fourth woman.

Prosecutors allege he complimented one woman on her butt, asked another if she were wearing underwear and started coming at the third. In an attempt to get him away, prosecutors say, the first woman yelled "Listen, take $20, go up to Merrimack Street after 5 p.m. and get yourself a hooker" at him. Prosecutors claim he then sat on a bench next to the fourth woman and attempted to "grab her in a sexual manner," at which point she screamed and fled into a nearby building, outside of which Marzilli then allegedly began waiting for her. When police arrived, he attempted to flee, prosecutors say.

The Herald reports that's what the alleged woman-chasing state senator's being treated for at McLean. Dan Kennedy wonders why Marzilli's lawyer still has a compulsion to attack people.

As Dan Kennedy notes, Howie Carr's column on Jim Marzilli today is your basic called-in faux-outrage piece about a pol in trouble. But read down to the last two sentences - man, Howie loves working at 'RKO.

Doesn't say anything about resigning immediately, however.
