A 34-year-old East Flatbush man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for abducting and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy in 2022.

Christopher Fiesco, 34, pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual act in August, admitting to threatening the boy with a knife and forcing him into an apartment near East 53rd Street where the assault occurred. The boy immediately reported the incident to his family, leading to Fiesco’s arrest.

“Today’s sentence holds the defendant accountable for a terrifying assault of a child and spares the young boy from having to testify and recount this life-altering attack in a courtroom,” District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said. “My thoughts are with the victim and his family, who I commend for immediately reporting this incident to the police and ensuring the defendant was brought to justice.”

Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Donald Leo imposed the sentence, which includes five years of post-release supervision and requires Fiesco to register as a sex offender. The case was prosecuted by the DA’s Special Victims Bureau and investigated by the NYPD’s Brooklyn Special Victims Squad.
