Sullivan County resident Robert Hufcut, age 56, of Wurtsboro, was sentenced to 22 years in prison followed by 20 years of post-release supervision, said Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler.
Hufcut was the Mamakating Highway Superintendent and Summitville Fire Department Chief in Sullivan County.
The jury found that Hufcut had, over a period of time not less than three months, engaged in two or more acts of sexual conduct with a child less than 13 years old in Orange County.
Hoovler thanked the New York State Police for their investigation and the arrest of the defendant.
“The sentence imposed on this defendant is justice considering the victim will live with the aftermath of the defendant’s conduct for life,” said Hoovler.
