John M. Carnevale[2] (born September 3, 1961) is an American politician and a Democratic member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives representing district 13 since January 2009.

Education

Carnevale earned his BS from Roger Williams University.

Career

Carnevale was a Providence Police sergeant until March 2007, when, at age 45, he began his retirement on a $45,649 disability pension.[3] In 2008 he began his legislative career, running unopposed to be representative of district 13, which spans Providence and Johnston.

Carnevale's late brother was Anthony Carnevale,[4] a former Rhode Island magistrate who also served as a state representative from Providence and Johnston for 12 years starting in 1976, and for whom an elementary school in Providence is named after.[5]

Personal life

In October 2011, Carnevale was indicted by a grand jury on charges of first- and second-degree sexual assault, as well as one count of assault with the intent to commit sexual assault.[6] His alleged victim claimed Carnevale attempted to rape her, resulting in a struggle, and that Carnevale masturbated in front of her and forced her face up to his genitalia.[7] She also alleged that after he finished, Carnevale threw a $20 bill down and told her to "take her kid out to eat."[7] DNA evidence collected from the victim's pajamas matched a sample provided by Carnevale, according to the Johnston Police Department.[7]

Shortly after the indictment, his accuser, a 46-year-old mother of two, died of a pulmonary embolism, according to an autopsy by the state medical examiner.[8][9] The charges were later dropped by attorney general Peter Kilmartin, citing an inability to proceed without the woman's testimony.[10]

Carnevale's ex-wife has sought restraining orders against him several times with allegations of physical abuse, according to court records from 1998, 1999 and 2004.[6] In the affidavits she alleged that Carnevale, divorced since 2000, had been arrested three times by North Kingston, RI police, and that he had choked and punched her, struck her with a cord, pinned her against a wall, slapped her, and dragged her by the wrist out of her house in separate incidents.[6]
