She immediately told her mother about the abuse, who then reported the incident to Woonsocket police. “We alleged to the court that he in fact choked his sister,” Kilmartin said. “The judge, who conducted a jury-waived trial, did the fact-finding, concurred, and found him guilty.” Cahill has been on unpaid administrative leave since his arrest.
