"A Massachusetts man who took part in a
random attack that sent a Providence College student to the hospital has been sentenced to serve 12 years in prison. The attorney general’s office said that Travis Lesperance, 25, of Attleboro, was sentenced to serve 12 years of a 20-year sentence with the remainder suspended with probation. Authorities said Lesperance and three friends
had been drinking when they drove from Attleboro to Providence in May 2103 with the intention of assaulting and robbing someone. The first person they approached ran away. They then attacked Douglas Biancur as he left campus after studying for finals. Biancur was left unconscious and was taken to the hospital with significant head and
facial injuries."
