Man sentenced to state prison for attempted sexual assault of minor
NORWICH – Chenango County Court was in session during the morning hours of Monday, May 23 to hear the case of a prior felon accused of attempted sexual assault of a minor.
Jared S. Quackenbush, 20, appeared with his assigned public defender Aaron Dean.
First Assistant District Attorney Michael D. Ferrarese was present in court to represent the people of Chenango County, while the Honorable Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. presided over the case.
Quackenbush, a predicate felon, was previously convicted of attempted burglary in the second degree, a class D felony, on March 16, 2015. It’s alleged that Quackenbush, along with a 17-year-old accomplice, broke into a residence in the City of Norwich in September of 2014 where they proceeded to steal various items, including a safe, a silver watch, an AK-47, two 20-round 7.62 caliber magazines, 500 rounds of 7.62 caliber ammunition, a pasta machine and different types of medications. Following his guilty plea, he received a split sentence of six months incarceration at the county jail and five years probation with drug and alcohol conditions.
Quackenbush was further indicted in February of 2016 on charges of sexual abuse in the first degree, a class D felony; forcible touching, a class A misdemeanor; and endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor. The charges alleged that Quackenbush, on December 28, 2015, while in the Town of North Norwich, subjected a 15-year-old female to sexual contact by forcibly holding her down and touching her inappropriately.
Since his initial appearance in court, Quackenbush took a plea deal from the District Attorney’s Office and entered a plea of guilty to the reduced charge of attempted sexual assault of a minor, a class E felony. Instead of going to trial, and possibly receiving a five year sentence as the maximum, Quackenbush decided to take the plea which would send him to state prison for the next two and a half years. Along with this, after his release, Quackenbush will be on five years post release supervision and will also have to sign on to the sex offender registry. He will also be subject to a civil money judgement for the restitution of $1,500 stemming from his burglary conviction back in March of 2015.
Mr. Ferrarese had words for the defendant.
“This defendant is spending the next two and a half years behind bars for his alleged behavior on the date of December 28, 2015. Mr. Quackenbush is a young man who already has two violent felonies,” said Ferrarese. “He will still be a young man when he enters back into society. If he doesn't change his behavior, he will be spending a lot of time behind bars. Hopefully he will learn to control his addiction in prison.”
These remarks were reiterated by Judge Revoir.
“I never take pleasure in sending anyone to prison, but this case baffles me,” said Revoir. “You jumped from having no criminal record to two felonies in the last two years. A lot of people who I sentence in your position are in their 40s and 50s. Take note of that, and use this opportunity as a way to change your behavior. Take advantage of the programs offered to you.”
A written waiver of appeal was signed at the conclusion of this matter.
