One victim reported that, on July 1, 2020, the defendant offered to drive the victim home from his house, Walcott said.
During the trip, the defendant sexually assaulted the victim, according to authorities.
Additional testimony showed that, on Feb. 6, 2021, the defendant picked up a group of minors and brought them back to his home for a sleepover.
In the early morning hours of the next day, the second victim woke up and entered the kitchen for a drink, Walcott said.
The defendant was in the kitchen during this time and sexually assaulted the victim, according to state officials.
"The victims in this case showed bravery and resilience in coming forward and going through the legal system, including having to testify about being sexually assaulted in open court,” Walcott said.
“I am hopeful they see that this sentence accomplishes so much - it is both punishment for the horrific crime and protection of future potential victims.”
