Bronx man sentenced to 25 years for long-term sexual abuse of child in Nassau County
Mineola, NY — A Bronx man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for sexually abusing his girlfriend’s daughter over the course of more than a decade, starting when the child was just nine years old, Nassau County prosecutors announced.
Juan Caceres, 58, was convicted on November 21, 2025, of Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child, a B felony, following a jury trial before Judge Robert McDonald. On Monday, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison and 20 years of post-release supervision.
Prosecutors said Caceres began abusing the victim in 2011, shortly after moving into a Port Washington home with her mother. The abuse, which initially involved inappropriate touching, escalated over time. Officials said the assaults occurred multiple times a week and continued through the victim’s teenage years and into adulthood.
In 2013, the victim was temporarily confined to a wheelchair following a medical procedure. During that period, Caceres continued to abuse her, taking advantage of her limited mobility.

Caceres was represented at trial by defense attorney Christopher Graziano.
