GUILTY: Long Island Man Who Climbed Through Bathroom Window, Raped 19-Year-Old

A Central Islip man was convicted on Wednesday for raping a 19-year-old Brentwood woman last year, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota.

After three and one-half hours of deliberations, jurors convicted 35-year-old Jose Gomez, of first degree rape, first degree sex abuse and second degree burglary.

“Gomez entered a home in Brentwood on September 1 of last year through a bathroom window and sexually assaulted a 19 year old female,” DA 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.

Gomez is due back in court on Oct. 2 for sentencing.

Spota said prosecutors will recommend he receive the maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
