A Chilmark man who was arrested last summer on charges of child rape, statutory rape and indecent assault and battery was sentenced to two and a half years in the Dukes County House of Corrections Thursday.
Wayne V. Iacono 2nd, 31, was arrested by Chilmark police in July 2021. Charges filed by Chilmark police were later prosecuted by the Cape and Islands District Attorney office, according to Edgartown District Court.
Mr. Iacono was sentenced Thursday by the Hon. John Julian.
The commonwealth chose not to prosecute the charges of child rape and statutory rape, a court clerk told the Gazette. Mr. Iacono is to serve one year in the house of corrections on indecent assault charges followed by a three year probation during which his remaining sentence will be suspended.
