NEW CITY – A 33-year-old Spring Valley man has been sentenced to 20 years to life in state prison on one county and 20 years on a second count to run concurrently.
Holger Chuya-Andrade was convicted by a Rockland County Court jury on charges of predatory sexual assault against a child and course of sexual conduct against a child.
From May 1, 2011 through May 1, 2014, Chuya-Andrade engaged in a course of sexual abuse that started when the victim, his niece, was seven years old and continued until she was 10.
He was sentenced on November 21 and if ever released from prison, will be required to register as a sex offender.
The investigation was conducted by the Spring Valley Police Department with assistance from the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office Special Victims Unit.
“There is nothing more precious than the lives and safety of our children. The Rockland County District Attorney’s Office will undertake all efforts to protect Rockland’s most vulnerable,” said DA Tom Wash. “This conviction and sentence is one step to ensuring our children can safely enjoy their childhood. We will stand with this victim and help in any way possible to help them overcome this trauma from this predator.”
