DISTRICT ATTORNEY D. HOLLEY CARNRIGHT ANNOUNCES: SAUGERTIES MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO COURSE OF SEXUAL CONDUCT AGAINST A CHILD
Jeffrey C. Brown, 54, of 227 Partition Street in Saugerties, pled guilty Thursday, February 23, 2017, to Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child in the First Degree, a Class “B” violent felony, before Hon. Donald A. Williams of Ulster County Court. Brown admitted that between September 1, 2014 and December 29, 2014, he engaged in at least two acts of sexual conduct which included at least one act of sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct or anal sexual conduct with a child who was less then thirteen years old. An investigation conducted by the Ulster County Family and Child Advocacy Center led to Brown’s arrest on August 25, 2016.
District Attorney Holley Carnright noted, “This man stole the trust and innocence of a child which cannot be replaced. It took great courage for this child to come forward and expose this man for what he is, a pedophile.”
Jeffrey C. Brown is scheduled to appear before Hon. Donald A. Williams on April 24, 2017 for sentencing.
The case was prosecuted by Special Victims Bureau Chief, Katherine R. Van Loan of the Ulster County District Attorney’s Office. The defendant was represented by the Ulster County Public Defender’s Office.
