Cayuga County District Attorney Brittany Grome Antonacci said in a news release Friday that the Appellate Division, Fourth Department of New York State Supreme Court in Rochester recently affirmed three local convictions:

• William J. Roth Jr. was sentenced in August 2023 to 15 years in prison followed by 15 years of post-release supervision for first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child. Roth, a previously convicted sex offender, was also sentenced to one to three years for failure to report a change of address as a registered sex offender and possession of a sexual performance by a child. An investigation that began in 2019 found Roth sexually assaulted a female child for three years.

• Cole J. Chapman was sentenced in June 2023 to 1 1/3 to four years for a third-degree criminal mischief charge and third-degree robbery, with the sentences running concurrently. Coleman forcibly stole a jar of change from an Auburn resident that February. While he was in the Cayuga County Jail for that offense, he smashed the touchscreen of an inmate email kiosk that March.

• Earl Jackson was sentenced in January 2023 to four months of probation for aggravated family offense and first-degree criminal contempt. 

All of the appeals were handled by Cayuga County Chief Assistant District Attorney Chris Valdina.
