Agueda
KINGSTON – Liberty Village resident Leoneudi Agueda, 24, has been
sentenced in Ulster County Court to seven years in state prison and 10
years of post-release supervision on his conviction to the violent felony
crime of criminal sexual act.
Agueda was arrested on June 15, 2017 following an investigation by State
Police in the Ellenville barracks.
The sexual act was with a 12-year-old child and occurred in a parking
area off Route 52 in the Town of Wawarsing. He also faces misdemeanor
charges in Sullivan County.
Ulster County District Attorney Holley Carnright said Agueda, who was
sentenced on Friday, must also register as a sex offender for a minimum
of 20 years and an order of protection was issued in favor of the child
to remain in effect until 2033.
Agueda was also charged by the Ulster DA’s office on February 6
with two counts of bribing a witness for offering money to two witnesses
in exchange for their altered testimony in the case. He had been released
on bond when the additional crimes took place.
“There were two underaged witnesses, purportedly friends of the
victim, who clearly lied to us and the grand jury,” said Carnright.
“We learned that the defendant had bribed them to alter their testimony.”
