GOSHEN – A 32-year-old Newburgh man faces 15 years in prison and 10 years of post-release supervision following his guilty plea in Orange County Court on Thursday to charges of rape and criminal sexual act.

As part of the sentence to be handed down in June, Eric Vazquez must also register as a sex offender.

Vazquez admitted in court that, being 18 years of age or older, he had sex with another person who was under the age of 13.

“Children are the most vulnerable of victims,” said District Attorney David Hoovler. “It is unspeakable that an adult, in a position of trust, could violate children in his manner.”
