Marc Ribeiro, 34, was convicted of two counts of aggravated rape of a child and other offenses, resulting in an 18 to 20-year prison sentence followed by probation. The assaults occurred from 2015 to 2019. The victim revealed the abuse to her health teacher in 2023, emphasizing the importance of educational programs and mandated reporters in preventing child abuse. Assistant District Attorneys commended the victim for her bravery, and the District Attorney described the defendant's actions as repulsive and deserving of a lengthy sentence.
The defendant took advantage of his access to this young victim and repeatedly raped and abused her between the ages of five and seven. This conduct committed against a very young and innocent victim is repulsive and warrants a lengthy prison sentence.
Prosecutors said the victim disclosed the abuse to her health teacher after a lesson regarding child abuse in 2023.
This highlights the importance of these educational programs in our local school systems and the role of mandated reporters.
Marc Ribeiro, 34, was sentenced to serve 18 to 20 years in a state prison, followed by five years of probation.
