A Beaver County woman was sentenced to serve two years of probation for assaulting her former husband, who said the attack left him with numerous injuries.

Coleen A. Allego, 46, of Aliquippa, was sentenced Thursday, Aug. 21, to serve two consecutive terms of 12 months of probation after pleading no contest to a felony charge of criminal trespass and a misdemeanor charge of simple assault state police filed following a Dec. 30, 2023, incident in Connoquenessing Township.

In the victim impact statement he made in Butler County Common Pleas Court before Judge Timothy McCune, Allego’s ex-husband, Nick Allego, said her attack left him with a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder, damaged bones in one foot, a damaged ankle, three broken toes and multiple cuts and scrapes.

He claimed she has mixed martial arts training and targeted previous injuries in the attack. His feet will take years to heal, he said.

He added his ex-wife is a licensed therapist and he met her when he went to her for therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder. He said he has difficulty sleeping and receives therapy for trauma.

He asked for her to be given a jail sentence.

A woman, who said the attack took place at her home, gave an impact statement saying Coleen Allego threatened her and threatened to burn her house.

Coleen Allego said she didn’t go to the other woman’s home to harm Nick Allego, and she wanted to resolve their differences, but regrets confronting him. She denied having martial arts training, but said her son did.

Coleen Allego said she was pressured into a relationship with her former husband. She said he threatened to kill her family if she didn’t marry him, pointed a gun at her, fired a gun into the air to intimidate her and didn’t allow her to talk to her friends.

Her mother said Coleen Allego was a hard working and compassionate person, but she changed before the incident.

“It was clear to me she was in turmoil,” her mother said.

The incident left her daughter shattered and she lost her job, but she is trying to put her life back together, she said.

Her attorney, Rodney Jones, said the couple had a tumultuous relationship that spiraled out of control. He said Coleen Allego was a licensed therapist who worked as a social worker for 19 years and has no previous criminal history.

Assistant District Attorney Ben Simon said Coleen Allego should have been happy to get out of the relationship if she had been forced into it, but she drove 40 miles from her home to confront Nick Allego.

The judge acknowledged that Coleen Allego had no criminal record and has suffered financial and employment ramifications. He said a jail sentence wouldn’t help anyone, but she would end up in jail if she violates the terms of her probation.

In addition to the probation, he ordered her to not possess weapons or consume alcohol, submit to mental health and drug and alcohol assessments, undergo anger management and have no contact with her ex-husband.
