A former Springfield police officer is being sentenced to two-to-three years in state prison after a conviction in a child sexual assault case.
Thirty-one-year-old Daniel Cintron was recently found guilty in a jury-waived trial in Hampden Superior Court on two counts each of indecent assault and battery on a child and intimidation of a witness.
Hampden District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni stated, “I hope this verdict brings justice to all of the victims and families involved in this case. The bravery of the victims should be commended in coming forward, as the fear and angst created by someone who abused his position of power, is not easily overcome. My office will continue to fight for victimized children and all victims of abuse.”
Cintron is awaiting a separate trial for an alleged assault of a teen outside the Eastfield Mall in 2017.
