A Danielson Superior Court jury found a Webster, Massachusetts, man guilty October 27 of sexually assaulting a child in Putnam, according to Windham Judicial District State’s Attorney John F. Fahey.
Miguel Aponte-Cardozo, 61, was convicted of first-degree sexual assault, fourth-degree sexual assault and two counts of risk of injury to a minor. The prosecutor’s release identifies Judge Kevin M. Shay as the judge who presided over the trial.
Prosecutors said trial evidence concerned assaults on November 22, 2020, and earlier dates. Eastern CT News is withholding the child’s identifying information and unnecessary personal details.
Sentencing is scheduled for January 19, 2027, in Superior Court in Danielson. The jury verdict establishes the convictions reported in the release; the scheduled hearing is not an imposed sentence, and no prison term is reported here.
The state identified Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney Robert F. Mullins as the prosecutor and credited Putnam police’s investigation and assistance from Plainfield police Detective Jose Diaz.
The official release confirms the central verdict and sentencing details in CT Police Live’s October 27 report. Eastern CT News prepared this AI-written article from those sources; it did not attend the trial or independently obtain the trial transcript.
