Endicott man sentenced to 17 years in prison for raping child

BINGHAMTON, NY (WIVT/WBGH) – An Endicott man convicted of first-degree rape appeared in Broome District Court for sentencing last week.

Broome County District Attorney Paul Battisti announced that Michael Gibson was sentenced on July 3 to 17 years in New York State Prison, followed by 15 years of probation upon release.

Gibson admitted to having sex with a victim under the age of 13 in the summer of 2023.

“It is our duty to vigorously prosecute those who commit egregious acts, especially against children. Holding Gibson accountable with a 17-year prison sentence underscores our commitment to justice and protecting the most vulnerable in our community,” Battisti said.
