Arizona woman sentenced to 15 years for domestic violence

PHOENIX — An Arizona woman has been sentenced to 15 years for sexual assault, domestic violence and other charges, authorities announced Monday.

Christina Albert was sentenced for repeatedly sexually and physically abusing her girlfriend between May and June 2023, according to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.

She was sentenced to serve the 15-year sentence concurrently with a separate 7.5-year sentence for one domestic violence-related aggravated assault count, prosecutors said.

Attorney General Kris Mayes said Albert was sentenced on Nov. 4, 2025, after pleading guilty on Sept. 25.

“Domestic violence is a serious crime that will not be tolerated in Arizona,” Mayes said in a Monday announcement.

Albert was ordered to have no contact with her victim, whose rib she broke, according to court documents. She must also register as a sex offender.

Cases like these aren’t rare in Arizona. According to Jenna Panas, CEO of Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence, Arizona ranks 5th in the U.S. for domestic violence.
