NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A Long Island man was sentenced to 50 years in prison for raping a child, Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney
announced Friday.
The evidence at trial established that the man began to sexually abuse the victim when she was ten years old, and continued until she was 11.
The victim secretly recorded conversations that she had with the man in which she confronted him about the abuse, and he made
incriminating statements, authorites said.
The victim provided those recordings to the Suffolk County Police Department when she reported the crime, and those recordings were introduced as evidence during the trial.
On April 5, the man was convicted of rape in the first degree, criminal sexual act in the first degree, and endangering the welfare of a child.
On June 2, was sentenced to 50 years in prison, followed by 20 years of post-release supervision.
"While the efforts of the victim to bring her abuser to justice were heroic, it should go without saying that no child should ever be subjected to sexual abuse," District Attorney Tierney said. "As for the defendant, he will spend decades in a prison cell far away from the victim and the residents of Suffolk County. My office will continue to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, anyone who hurts children."
