Granby Man Sentenced for Sexually Abusing 11 and 15-Year-Old Girls

A Granby man was sentenced to five years in prison and 10 years special parole after being convicted of sexually assaulting two girls.

Kenneth Baker, 76, of Old Simsbury Road was charged with two counts of first-degree sexual assault of a minor, 16 counts of risk of injury to a minor and several other sexual assault charges.

He pleaded to two counts of risk of injury to a minor as part of a plea agreement, according to the Hartford Courant. The deal meant that the victims didn’t have to testify. He also will register as a sex offender.

The father of the 11 and 15-year-old girls reported the assaults to police in May of last year. Baker was acquainted with the girls and family. The two girls reported the abuse after the younger one attended a religious education program and a teacher said it was never too late to report abuse.

Baker abused another child years ago, prosecutor Ann Mahoney said. The now-adult victim came forward after the two girls broke their silence about the abuse.
