Overview

  • Katherine Clark's transgender daughter, Riley Dowell, was sentenced to one year of probation after reaching a deal with a Boston court.
  • Dowell faced charges of assault and battery on a police officer, vandalizing property, tagging property, vandalizing a historic marker/monument, and resisting arrest.
  • As part of the deal, Dowell will be required to write a letter of apology to the officer she is accused of assaulting.
  • Clark had previously condemned violence against police but was found to have scrubbed an anti-police article from her official website ahead of taking the number two position in the lower chamber for House Democrats.
  • The case will be dismissed upon successful completion of all conditions within the one year period.
