Can I get out of a lease that I signed with a boyfriend that was deceptive?

I signed a year lease with a boyfriend starting Sept 1, and then received some information a week ago regarding his true character. He is a liar, and allowed me to move in under false pretenses. He has a restraining order against him from an ex-wife, even. Also, when I was on the internet, he literally cut the internet cable. I moved out right away.
What can I do to get off this lease? If I cannot find a subletter, if the boyfriend and/or landlord will not let me off the lease, is there a legal way out?
Thank you.
