20 Years For Predatory Sexual Assault, Rape Of Child​​​

NEWBURGH, NY — A Hudson Valley man who has admitted to sexually abusing a child has been sentenced to decades behind bars.

Orange County District Attorney David M. Hoovler announced that 35-year-old Kelvin Dubon-Rivas, of Newburgh, was sentenced on Monday to 20 years in prison to be followed by 20 years of post-release supervision after his previous guilty plea to first-degree rape. As part of the sentence, Dubon-Rivas will also be required to register as a sex offender under the New York Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA).

During plea proceedings, Dubon-Rivas admitted that in September of 2024, he engaged in anal sexual contact with a child who was less than 11 years old.

The district attorney thanked the Town of Newburgh Police Department for their investigation which led to the arrest of Dubon-Rivas.

"Stealing the innocence of a child for repulsive sexual acts is a truly hideous crime," Hoovler said. "The lengthy sentence imposed in this case ensures that this offender will be unable to hurt others and should serve as a warning to anyone who might engage in similar conduct. Simply put, we will not allow these crimes to go without significant punishment in Orange County. We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to hold sexual predators accountable for their conduct."
