Vega-Soto
KINGSTON – A former Kingston man was sentenced on Tuesday by Ulster County Court Judge Donald Williams to seven years in state prison and 10 years of post-release supervision on a charge of sexual abuse in the first degree.
David Vega-Soto, 38, pled guilty to the charge in October admitting that
on June 25, 2017 he subjected a child under the age of 11 to sexual contact.
He was arrested on June 30 following an investigation by the Ulster County
Family and Child Advocacy Center.
He will be required to register under the state Sexual Offender Registration Act for a minimum of 20 years and an order of protection was issued to remain in effect until 2035.
Vega-Soto is a citizen of Mexico and may face additional proceedings
with the US Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customer Enforcement.
District Attorney Holley Carnright praised the victim of this crime and other children in the home for their bravery in coming forward quickly.
