The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General said<\/a>\u00a0in a news release on Thursday that 63-year-old Miguel Pedrosa pleaded guilty to rape and other sexual abuse of the child. He pleaded guilty to numerous felonies, and as part of a plea agreement, he was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison. <\/p>\nThe news release from Thursday said the abuse happened over months. Officials said an incident was recorded in January, when the child’s mother installed a video camera inside her home. The 63-year-old Washington County man was a close acquaintance of the victim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This heinous conduct has no place in society, and the plea resolution is effectively a life sentence for the defendant who is already in his sixties,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said in the news release. “I commend the Pennsylvania State Police for a sound investigation that led to very serious charges, this conviction, and, we hope, a measure of justice for the victim and their family.”<\/p>\n
The news release said Pedrosa pleaded guilty to rape of a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, corruption of minors, aggravated indecent assault of a child, indecent assault, and endangering the welfare of a child. No other information about the case was included in the news release.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Senior Deputy Attorney General Alicia Werner prosecuted the case, according to the news release.<\/p>\n
