WHITE PLAINS — A 31-year-old illegal immigrant was sentenced today to serve five years in prison for sexually abusing a 7-year-old New Rochelle girl.
Rosendo Martinez-Zeferino, of 226 Webster Ave., had pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual act in exchange for the prison term.
He could have been sentenced to 25 years in prison if convicted at trial.
Assistant District Attorney Mary Clark-DiRusso said the plea deal was reached to spare the girl from testifying, saying it was the wish of the girl's mother.
Clark-DiRusso said the mother, who was in the courtroom but declined to speak, is still "outraged" at the abuse.
Martinez-Zeferino, who had a relationship with the girl's mother, was arrested Oct. 31. He was accused of having sexual encounters with the girl for months, police said.
He did not make a statement at sentencing.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have placed a hold on Martinez-Zeferino and will deport him after he serves his sentence.
He is under court order to have no contact with the victim.
