SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY - A Lackawanna County jury deliberated less than an hour, Monday, before convicting a Scranton man of sexual assault.
34-year-old John Cataquet was found guilty on 8 separate counts.
The abuse happened for over a year when the victim was just 6-years-old.
Now 14, that girl testified during the week-long trial.
Prosecutors say, like so many cases, the victim waited several years before reporting the abuse.
The district attorney's office says Cataquet will serve at least 15-to-20 years when he's sentenced in a few months. | |
