GOSHEN – A 30-year-old Highland Mills man was sentenced in Orange County Court on Monday to 15 years in prison following his guilty plea of course of sexual conduct against a child.
Eduardo Martinez-Rojas will also face 10-years of post-release supervision and must register as a sex offender.
District Attorney David Hoovler said Martinez-Rojas engaged in sexual conduct with a child under the age of 13 for a period of three months.
“The acts perpetrated by this defendant against a child are truly unimaginable,” the DA said. “Cases like this one are challenging for both the law enforcement agencies tasked with the investigation ands the members of my staff who prosecute the cases. But no one bears the burden for the defendant’s conduct like the blameless victim. The only appropriate response to such admitted conduct is the significant prison sentence imposed.”
