Man Who Climbed Through Bathroom Window, Raped 19-Year-Old Sentenced To Prison: DA

A Central Islip man was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Monday for raping a 19-year-old Brentwood woman last year, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota.

In August, 35-year-old Jose Gomez, was convicted of first degree rape, first degree sex abuse and second degree burglary.

This week, Judge Timothy Mazzei sentenced Gomez to prison with five years post release for rape and an additional seven years for burglary and five years for sex abuse, the DA said.

“Gomez entered a home in Brentwood on September 1 of last year through a bathroom window and sexually assaulted a 19-year-old female,” Spota said. “Her younger brothers were able to disrupt the rape and the defendant fled the scene.”

Police arrested Gomez on Pine Aire Drive in Bay Shore on Sept. 30, 2016.

Spota recommended the maximum sentence of 25 years.
