WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (WCBS 880) — A White Plains man who sexually abused a minor for several years was sentenced to five years in state prison last week.
Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah announced Monday that Frank Perez, 57, was sentenced on Oct. 19 to five years in prison with eight years of post-release supervision. Perez will also be required to register as a sex offender upon release.
Perez’s victim spoke at the sentencing last week, claiming victory against the abuser.
“There were multiple instances where you were confronted and could have stopped, but out of your arrogance, you kept going,” the victim said.
“You used to always tell me that although I won the battle, you would win the war. Well, despite the many trials and tribulations you put me through, I won the war.”
According to prosecutors, Perez had engaged in sexual acts with the minor on multiple occasions between 2016 and 2019. The abuse began when the victim was just 11-years-old.
Perez was arrested in February 2019 following a lengthy investigation by White Plains police.
He was found guilty of course of sexual conduct against a child, sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child in September.
