Elliot Matthew Nguyen, 25, of East Earl Township, pleaded guilty in January to rape by forcible compulsion, sexual assault, two counts of aggravated indecent assault, and two counts of indecent assault, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office.

The charges stemmed from an attack at a residence in the 5500 block of Division Highway in June 2025.

In a written statement provided to the court, the victim described the trauma she continues to experience following the assault.

“I have been more aware of my surroundings,” she wrote. “I am more skeptical of people. I was and still can be very jumpy around people.”

The victim also told the court she has suffered nightmares and financial difficulties in the aftermath of the attack.

Assistant District Attorney Samantha Tropp, who prosecuted the case, said the victim fought back and “begged him to stop” as Nguyen raped and sexually assaulted her.

When given the opportunity to address the court, Nguyen apologized for his actions and said he was “not in the right mindset” at the time of the offense.

But the victim wrote that even if Nguyen is remorseful, “that doesn’t change the fact that this crime took place.”

Tropp argued that Nguyen’s apology did not lessen the impact the attack had on the victim or the seriousness of the crimes.

Judge Dennis Reinaker sentenced Nguyen to four to 10 years in state prison on May 27.

East Earl Township Police Officer Gary Sensenig filed the charges.
