Haverhill man gets 23-year sentence for raping child

LAWRENCE — A Haverhill man could spend more than two decades behind bars after being convicted last week of raping a young Lawrence girl in 1997.
Lawrence Superior Court Judge Leila Kern yesterday sentenced Kevin Quinn, 44, to 23 years in state prison for rape of a child with force and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14.
The victim, who is now 19, disclosed the sexual abuse in June 2007 — 10 years after two separate instances.
After hearing testimony in a weeklong trial, the jury deliberated for close to three hours before finding Quinn guilty of indecently assaulting the girl.
Quinn, who was already registered as a Level 3 sex offender, had previously received a 10- to 15-year prison sentence after pleading guilty for aggravated rape in 1986.
The victim in that case also was from Lawrence.
Once released from prison, Quinn will be on probation for five years. Judge Kern ordered him to have no direct or indirect contact with the victim or her family.
The judge also ordered him to have no contact with any children under 16, comply with the requirements of the Sex Offender Registry Board, and participate in a sex offender treatment program.
Essex County Assistant District Attorney Karen Hopwood prosecuted Quinn, who was represented by attorney Lynette Leos of the Committee for Public Counsel Services.
Hopwood praised the work of victim/witness advocate Amy Snow and Lawrence Detective Daniel Fitzpatrick.
