Dawson cuz sentenced
As expected based on an agreed-to sentence promised to him by a judge after his guilty plea this past June, Juan Scott, 28, received 14 years behind bars last month.
Scott, actress Rosario Dawson’s cousin, pled guilty to three East Village sexual assaults last year.
At his sentencing, one of his victims — a woman he dated over that summer — told how he held her captive for five hours in her apartment, and that she thought he would kill her.
“I remember thinking this is it, this is how I die, with one of his hands around my neck and the other one clamped onto me from the inside,” the victim, now 28, said, according to the Daily News. (Scott’s twisted M.O. was to violently violate his victims with his hand.)
She suffered a sprained hip, broken rib and post-concussion disorder.
The New York Post reported that, before attacking her, Scott asked the woman if she thought he was a creep, saying, “A lot of girls think I’m creepy.”
“I’m very sorry. I feel like I just need help,” Scott told the victim at his sentencing, the News said. “I want help. I want treatment. I want to get well.”
When he gets out, he will be under mandatory supervision for a decade.
During the attacks, Scott, a Long Islander, lived at 544 E. 13th St., a former squat were Isabel Celeste — Rosario Dawson’s mother — and other Dawson relatives lived.
