A 34-year-old man was sentenced to 17 years to life in prison in a Livingston County court after being found guilty of rape and endangering the welfare of a child.
Christopher L. Wilmet was convicted in September 2022 after a jury trial.
The sentence for the rape conviction was 17 years, with an additional one year sentence for the charge of endangering the welfare of a child.
The charges stem from a sexual assault in April 2019 of a 14-year-old girl in the Town of Leicester.
Wilmet had a previous history of felony convictions and had been in jail since August 2020.
