On or about December 31, 2006, between 3:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., BROWN engaged in sexual intercourse with a female victim who was under the age of 13 at the time the incident took place. Additionally, in January and April 2006, BROWN, who at the time was 21 years or older, engaged in sexual intercourse with a female victim who was under the age of 17 at the time of said incidents occurring “While this is an instance where no length of time is sufficient enough to punish this offender, I hope that today has brought some closure to the victims and their families,” commented DA Soares. “Thanks to the courage of the victims, this dangerous man is now off our streets for a very long time.” ADA Christina Nolan of the Special Victims Unit handled the prosecution of this case.# # # For further information contact: Heather Streeter Orth
