Western Mass. man sentenced to 18 to 20 years in prison for raping 3-year-old
A North Adams man found guilty of raping a 3-year-old child was sentenced to 18 to 20 years in prison on Wednesday, Berkshire County District Attorney Timothy Shugrue's office said. Austin Miller-Robinson, 29, was found guilty on June 4 of aggravated rape of a child with force and rape and abuse of a child aggravated by age difference. 'This is an important victory for the children and citizens of Berkshire County,' Shugrue said in a statement from his office. 'I will always advocate for the strongest possible penalties under the law for anyone who harms our children.' Shugrue had previously requested the maximum sentence, according to a statement from his office. 'While the sentence is less than my request, and the criminal penalties are to be served concurrently, the 18-to-20-year sentence is substantial,' Shugrue said in the statement. 'Today is a good day for the children in the Berkshires.' When he was 23, Miller-Robinson assaulted the child on July 4, 2019, Shugrue's office said previously.
