A son of state Sen. Pedro Espada Jr. escaped criminal charges yesterday by pleading guilty to a harassment violation for attacking a 76-year-old blogger at a political rally.

Alejandro Espada, 30, the director of one of his father’s health clinics, must pay $432 in restitution to replace City Hall blogger Rafael Martinez Alequin’s camera.

Cops say Espada broke it when the blogger peppered his father with questions at a Sept. 7, 2008, rally.

Espada also agreed to a restraining order that prevents him from touching or harassing Martinez Alequin.
