Former Danbury mayoral candidate and television talk show host John McGowan began serving his four-year sentence last week after the state Appellate Court turned down an appeal of his first-degree sexual assault conviction.RELATED POSTS:The 47-year-old Bethel resident surrendered to authorities on Feb. 15 at the state Superior Court in Litchfield, where a six-member jury found him guilty in August 2011 of forcibly sodomizing a woman he was dating nearly three years earlier.
McGowan was in a wheelchair when he made his latest court appearance, and the attorney with him said his client had suffered medical problems since Judge James Ginocchio imposed the sentence in October 2011.
McGowan is being held at the Bridgeport Correctional Center, pending a probable assignment to another facility, a correction department spokesman said Thursday.
McGowan was arrested by New Milford police after the victim, a woman who worked on the crew of his public-access cable television program, "John McGowan Presents," claimed he assaulted her at a home he was building in New Milford in 2008.
