Orange County Man Sentenced For Having Sex With Teen

PORT CHESTER, NY — A New Windsor man will go to prison for having sex with a child under the age of 15. Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino Jr. said Thursday that Clint Edwards, 28, of New Windsor, was sentenced to seven years in state prison with 10 years post-release supervision.

He pleaded guilty Oct. 9 to second-degree criminal sexual act, a felony, for engaging in a sexual act with a child in Port Chester in June 2017.

Scarpino said Edwards met the child via social media, engaged in sex in the child's apartment building, then took her to his home in Orange County.

In response to a missing person's report for the child, the FBI and Port Chester police tracked her to Edward's family home in New Windsor where he was arrested days later.

Edwards' sentence will run concurrently to a 20-year sentence on a federal case involving the same child victim.

Unrelated to these cases Edwards was also sentenced Wednesday to 1.5 to 3 years in prison for second-degree attempted assault, a felony, involving another inmate in the county jail in January.

He also pleaded guilty to a second count of second-degree assault involving an incident with a correction officer in the county jail in October. That sentencing is scheduled for June 11. All terms will run concurrently with the federal case.
