Defendant: Isaiah Rodriguez (DOB 12/10/96)

July 15, 2020 -- Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr. announced that Isaiah Rodriguez of Yonkers has been sentenced to prison for repeatedly sexually assaulting a six-year-old child over the course of two years.

Specifically, Rodriguez was sentenced yesterday (July 14) to 8.5 years in state prison with 15 years post release supervision. He pleaded guilty in January to Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child in the First Degree, a class B violent felony.

Westchester County Court Judge Susan Cacace presided over the in-person sentencing conducted in the Sex Offense Court in the Westchester County Courthouse.

Background
Rodriguez subjected the child victim to repeated acts of sexual assault on multiple occasions from Oct. 24, 2016 to Dec. 31, 2018, when the child was between 4 and 6 years old. The child made a disclosure of abuse to her mother who then took the child to the hospital. Subsequently, with Yonkers Police officers, the child was taken to the Westchester Child Advocacy Center (CAC) in Valhalla where a specially trained staff member forensically interviewed the child.

Following an investigation by Yonkers Police, in conjunction with the Child Abuse Bureau of the District Attorney’s Office, the defendant was arrested. He pleaded guilty Jan. 29, 2020. The sentencing had been postponed several times due to a change in court protocols around COVID-19.

Assistant District Attorneys Jamie Fair and Christine Cervasio, both of the Child Abuse Bureau, and Second Deputy District Attorney Fredric Green, Chief of the Special Prosecutions Division, prosecuted the case.
