Atlantic City man admits strangling girlfriend for refusing sex

Kareem Hall


  • Crime-Courts

An Atlantic City man admitted to strangling his girlfriend when she refused to have sex with him.

Kareem Hall, 28, already was on probation for assaulting the same victim last January, when he was arrested in November for aggravated assault.

Court records show that Hall was sentenced to five years' probation April 5, just two months before he was charged with terroristic threats.

He was released on a summons, and arrested the next month for another charge of terroristic threats. There also is an aggravated assault on a domestic violence victim that July, where he also was given a summons, records show.

On Nov. 2, he was charged on a warrant in the strangulation and jailed.

He pleaded guilty to second-degree strangulation of a domestic violence victim, and two third-degree counts of terroristic threats.

The plea calls for a three-year sentence, with a mandatory two years and seven months under the No Early Release Act.

Judge Jeffrey Waldman released Hall pending his April 30 sentencing, despite the state's objection.

A man claiming to be Hall commented on a Facebook post about the story claiming he strangled the victim because she refused to let him leave.

It was not clear if that would violate the terms of his release.
