IRS Agent Gets 7 To 8 Years For Raping Intern
The man's victim said she would never feel safe walking in Boston again.
BOSTON — An IRS agent convicted of raping an intern during the summer of 2017 will spend seven to eight years in prison. James Clarke appeared Tuesday in Suffolk Superior Court for his sentencing, during which his victim gave an emotional statement.
The woman, who asked not to identified, said Clarke deserved a heavy sentence. She said she will never feel safe walking in Boston again or having a drink in public.
According to prosecutors, Clarke, 46, sexually assaulted the victim, then 21, in his government-issued car in the Government Center garage on July 26, 2017 after a night of heavy drinking.
