*LANSING ? *John Digiacomo, 60, of Clio, was sentenced today to 10-20 years? incarceration in Genessee County Circuit Court for two counts of First-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct, to which he pled no contest in February [ [link removed] ]. His sentence includes an order for lifetime registration with the Sex Offender Registry and lifetime electronic monitoring. Digiacomo had been accused of multiple sexual assaults on an underage girl in Tuscola, Genesee, and Saginaw Counties.?

In the summer of 2014,?Digiacomo?s teenage victim moved in with her aunt. Digiacomo, a tow truck driver, was her aunt?s neighbor. He and a co-defendant victimized the teen beginning when she was 14. The assaults continued for 10 months. According to court records, the men provided her with narcotics and threatened to kill her and her family when she attempted to stop the sexual assaults or cut ties with them.?

The Department of Attorney General prosecuted all four cases on this matter. Today's sentence? on Digiacomo will run concurrent to his sentence in Tuscola County.?

?I'm thankful for the tireless efforts of prosecutors in my office to repeatedly bring Digiacomo to justice,? Nessel said. ?Sexual assault victims often suffer in silence for years before coming forward. This department remains committed to securing justice for victims of cold case assaults, and we commend the bravery of this victim in standing up to her abusers.??

Digiacomo was previously sentenced to up to 48?years? incarceration in Tuscola County, which he is currently serving, on jury convictions for six counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct and several firearm offenses.?

This case was prosecuted by the Attorney General Cold Case Sexual Assault Project.
