PATCHOGUE, N.Y. (WCBS 880) -- A Long Island man was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexually abusing children at his wife’s unlicensed daycare center.
Angel Tacuri, 53, was handed the sentence by a Suffolk County judge Thursday. He will also be subject to 20 years of post-release supervision.
Tacuri admitted to sexually abusing eight children enrolled at his wife’s unlicensed daycare center in Patchogue from 2010 through 2015. The victims ranged in age from 3 to 10 years old, prosecutors said.
Tacuri pleaded guilty in May to three counts of first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, one count of first-degree criminal sexual act and two counts of first-degree sexual abuse.
“This defendant took the innocence of small children and traumatized them in the process to satisfy his depraved desires and that is something they will never have back,” Suffolk County D.A Raymond Tierney said in a statement.
“This extensive sentence guarantees the defendant will no longer be able to harm any more children and ensures he will be monitored for years after he is released from prison,” Tierney said.
