POUGHKEEPSIE, NY – Dutchess County District Attorney Anthony Parisi announced today that Victor Harris, 42, of Poughkeepsie, was sentenced by the Honorable Jessica Segal following his August conviction by a Dutchess County jury on six felony sexual offenses and one misdemeanor charge involving the sexual abuse of a child under the age of 15.

District Attorney Anthony Parisi said “The sentence imposed today reflects the extraordinary seriousness of these crimes and the devastating impact sexual abuse has on children. Victor Harris repeatedly violated the innocence and trust of a vulnerable child. His conduct was calculated, predatory, and deserving of severe punishment. This young victim demonstrated remarkable courage by coming forward, confronting their abuser, and enduring the difficult process of testifying at trial. While no sentence can erase the harm inflicted, today's outcome delivers justice, holds this defendant accountable, and protects our community from a dangerous sexual predator.”
