BUFFALO, N.Y. — An East Amherst man will spend the next 18 years to life in prison for engaging in sexual acts against a child.
Tariq Nawaz, 50, was sentenced in Erie County Court Tuesday on one count of predatory sexual assault against a child, and one count of endangering the welfare of a child.
The Erie County District Attorney's office says that during a period of about three months, Nawaz engaged in two or more acts of sexual conduct against a child. They say he knowingly acted in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical, mental and moral welfare of the victim.
Nawaz was found guilty by Judge Kenneth Case following a nearly four-week trial.
An order of protection was issued for the victim until 2120.
