Manchester man sentenced to 33 years for sexual abuse of minors
May 23—A superior court judge has sentenced a Manchester man to a minimum of 33 years in prison after pleading guilty to the sexual assault of at least two minors.
James Aubuchont, 52, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Hillsborough County Superior Court to three counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault (pattern offenses); one count of manufacturing child sexual abuse images; and three counts of possession of child sexual abuse images.
Judge David Anderson gave Aubuchont the opportunity to see five years of the minimum sentence suspended if required treatment is completed, according to a news release.
Two victims reported abuse to Manchester police. The two were children at the time they were sexually assaulted. Police also found child sexual assault images on electronic devices and one Aubuchont made himself.
"These sensitive cases take an emotional toll on everyone involved. Our detectives in the Juvenile Division give them the utmost priority and are committed to seeking justice for the innocent victims," Manchester Police Chief Allen Aldenberg said in a statement.
Alexander G. Gatzoulis from the Hillsborough County Attorney's Special Victims Unit represented the state. The case was investigated by Detective Adrianne Davenport and Detective Lou Krawczyk.
