A former deputy at the Erie County Holding Center, who pleaded guilty to an assault charge that sprung from an off-duty encounter with a woman, was told Tuesday he would receive no jail time or probation for the crime.

Mark C. Conboy, 30, had an otherwise clean record and resigned from his job because of the conviction, one of his defense lawyers told State Supreme Court Justice Christopher J. Burns.

Burns set aside the prosecutor's request for three years of probation and mandatory counseling and instead imposed 100 hours of community service and a conditional discharge after one year. Conboy, who is a firefighter in Kenmore, could have been sentenced to up to a year in jail after pleading guilty in May to the misdemeanor.

Prosecutor Roseanne E. Johnson said the victim — who was 23 when she and Conboy met in a Tonawanda bar in September 2016 — suffers nightmares, flashbacks and has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of their encounter, which moved to Conboy's apartment that night.

"To this day, she has a fear of being around police officers," the prosecutor said.

The victim wept quietly in the back row of Burns' courtroom as Conboy stood before the judge in a blue suit and pale blue tie. She strode angrily from the room as the session closed without probation for the defendant.
