NORWALK, CT - Gary Bozzett, 59, was sentenced Friday to 11 years in prison in connection with the beating, strangling and raping of his then girlfriend two years ago in Norwalk.

In addition to the prison sentence, Bozzett also was sentenced to probation for 25 years, and had a criminal restraining order placed on him for 35 years, meaning he cannot contact the victim.
