Arroyo is seeking specific police incident reports and correspondence regarding Arroyo between Boston police and the Suffolk DA’s office in and around 2006. Attorneys representing the city of Boston oppose the release of the documents. Jess Megee, the city’s attorney, said releasing the records would be inappropriate, saying they are protected by state law. “If the Legislature wanted to give the defendants access to these, they could have put them on the list of people who are proper recipients of these records, and they didn’t,” Megee said. The lawyer for the woman at the center of the 2005 case, Leonard H. Kesten, also opposed releasing the documents, saying such a move would spark a public debate about whether or not his client was lying. “It will destroy this young woman,” he said. What he told police years ago, Kesten said, “was true then, is true now, will always be true.” Judge Squires-Lee said she would review the documents, adding that she intended to reach a decision by the end of Thursday, perhaps sometime in the evening. Outside court after the hearing, Arroyo told reporters: “Beyond this fight, this is my life and I think it’s important that people understand the facts, why I have to live with these allegations now, because they are in public space, for the rest of my life. It is fair, I believe, that the conclusions of the investigation should also be made public.” He said illegally leaking documents – which he claims is how the allegations against him were made public in the final weeks of the primary contest – for political gain is a crime. Earlier Thursday, in an appearance on a local talk show, Arroyo appeared to fight back tears while telling an interviewer it was difficult to respond to the allegations, which he denies. “I don’t like pain,” Arroyo said, his voice shaking, during a morning appearance on the “Java With Jimmy” program hosted by James Hills. “For me, I ran to mitigate the evil, to prevent the pain. And so, to see so much pain, it hurts. It hurts my heart. You know, from the point of view of people making claims that I won’t stand up for women who have been assaulted or men who have been sexually assaulted, that’s completely false.” Arroyo, 34, who is locked in an ugly Democrat primary with current Suffolk DA Kevin R. Hayden, himself under scrutiny for his handling of allegations of police misconduct, appeared on the talk show three days after a woman told police Arroyo sexually assaulted her in 2005 when they were high school classmates. he spoke in an interview with The Boston Globe. “It makes me feel sick, sick to my stomach,” the woman said in an interview Monday night, shortly after being contacted by the Globe. “I see so many people continue to support him without knowing more. As a potential DA, women are not going to feel safe calling his office. Their cases will not be heard. … All these people will be afraid to come forward.” Her comments came after Arroyo held a press conference last week to push back on an earlier Globe story that revealed he had been accused of possible sexual assault in 2005 and 2007. Arroyo said he had never assaulted anyone and was never informed of any investigation. The woman said she stands by everything she claimed to police about Arroyo in 2005: the forced sex, the mental manipulation, the threats he sent her. She said she didn’t pursue the matter with prosecutors years ago because it seemed to her that John D. O’Bryant School of Math and Science officials heard her concerns and took immediate action: She didn’t see Arroyo at school for the rest of the school year. year. On Thursday, Arroyo became emotional for a second time when he referred to his absence from school at the time, repeating earlier statements that he left to take care of his ailing mother. “I don’t know if anyone has ever had someone they care about in a bad situation, but that was my mother at the time,” Arroyo said, struggling to keep his cool. “And so I decided I would bet on myself. I knew the intelligence I had, I knew who I was as a person. But my mother needed me in different ways at that time. And so, that was an injury situation for me then and still is.” Boston police investigated two sets of sexual assault complaints against Arroyo. In the 2007 case, a 16-year-old girl told police she had been drinking at a party and believed Arroyo, then 19, might have raped her. That investigation was closed without criminal charges, and last week, the woman who made the original allegation said Arroyo did not rape her. “These are serious allegations and, as I said before, they are false,” Arroyo said in a statement on Tuesday. On “Java With Jimmy,” Arroyo said he was taken to court later in the day in an effort to obtain investigative records he argued would exonerate him. of injustice. “All the Globe got was a police report,” Arroyo said. “They didn’t get any of the research product. They didn’t understand anything the detectives assigned to this case said. All this information is missing. This is the information I will go to court to get. And I know what they found was that those allegations were unfounded.” After the woman from the 2005 case came forward in her Globe interview, Arroyo, a former public defender, saw his political support disappear as Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Edward J.
