The Illinois Administrator has filed a complaint alleging domestic violence misconduct

On June 9, 2013, Respondent pushed, shoved, and struck Astrid Conte-Russian, who was Respondent’s girlfriend at the time.

On March 18, 2013, after a bench trial, Respondent was found guilty of domestic batter in case number 13 DV 7455001. The court sentenced Respondent to 18 months of court supervision and fined him $500 plus court costs.
