A Cape Cod man was convicted of assault in 2014 for torturing
and abusing his girlfriend.

The case garnered national media attention and prompted his
victim to become a survivor's advocate.

Years after his release, a family-court judge has allowed him to
change his name.

In an intense three-day 2014 trial in a Cape Cod courtroom,
Justin Mustafa was accused of orchestrating a twisted week of
drug-fueled torture in which he injected his girlfriend with
heroin, repeatedly beat her with a belt, and forced her to
perform oral sex on his pit bull.

While a judge ordered a finding of not guilty on an animal-abuse
charge, the Cape Cod man was ultimately convicted on assault and
other charges, and sentenced to six years in prison. The
disturbing case garnered national media attention, and prompted
his victim, Gabbe Rowland, to become an advocate for domestic-
violence survivors.

Now, more than a year after his release from prison, a local
probate-court judge has allowed the man to change his name in a
move that Rowland says lets him dodge accountability and puts
other women at risk of becoming his victim.

"Based on what he has done to me and other women in my
community, it's a matter of public safety," Rowland told Insider.

In November, Rowland appeared by phone in Barnstable Probate and
Family Court hearing objecting to the name change.

She told the court she believed that if Mustafa — now Justin
Curtis — was allowed to change his name, women wouldn't be able
to easily unearth his past.

In court, though, Curtis, 33, argued that religion was the
reason he was applying for a name change.

Curtis testified that he converted to Christianity from Islam at
the request of his mother several years ago and that Mustafa is
a name with Islamic roots. His mother has since died, and he
wanted to change his name to avoid the "religious conflict," he
said.

On Tuesday, a judge ruled in his favor.

Judge Angela Ordoñez wrote that because of her "difficult
experience," Rowland's fear that people may not know Curtis'
criminal history without knowing his birth name is credible.

Curtis, though, isn't attempting to hide the name change and
filed notice of it in The Cape Cod Times and at the court's
probation office, as required, she wrote.

"The Court understands the Objector's concerns and reason for
presenting an objection and commends her making her reasons
known," Ordoñez ruled. "The Court ultimately finds that
Petitioner's reason for seeking the name change is reasonable
and not against public interest."
