Westchester 53-Year-Old Gets Prison For Sexually Assaulting 3 Teen Boys: DA

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — A sex offender who preyed on vulnerable children will be off the streets for a long time.

Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace announced that 53-year-old Fernando Rincon, of New Rochelle, was sentenced on Tuesday to 13 years in prison for sexually assaulting three teenage boys. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.

Rincon previously pleaded guilty in March to one felony count of second-degree criminal sexual act, and two counts of felony third-degree criminal sexual act.

The judge further sentenced Rincon to 10 years of post-release supervision and issued permanent orders of protection for the victims.

"The defendant preyed upon a vulnerable population in order to commit these sickening acts," Cacace said. "The trauma these victims suffered through can never be undone. But owing to their courage, we have now been able to obtain a substantial penalty that will remove the defendant from liberty for over a decade."

Between January and April of 2024, Rincon sexually assaulted three boys between the ages of 14 and 15, committing the crime of criminal sexual act. According to the DA, in late 2024, state legislators repealed criminal sexual act and reclassified this conduct as rape, although it was not retroactive.

Rincon was further accused of filming the victims during the assaults.

The case was investigated by the New Rochelle Police Department, and was prosecuted by Senior Assistant DAs Charlotte Gudis and Stephanie Baehr, both of the Child and Elder Abuse Bureau.
