Michael A. Peterson, a 42-year-old Weedsport resident, has been sentenced to a substantial prison term for sexually assaulting a child.
In Cayuga County Court on Thursday, Judge Thomas Leone handed down a sentence of 14 years to life in state prison for predatory sexual assault against a child, a class A felony, and an additional 364 days in the Cayuga County Jail for endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor, according to The Citizen.
