Bethany man sentenced in sexual assault case involving 5 girls
Дата публикации: 11-08-2026 15:32:38



A Bethany man was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in prison, suspended after four years, in a yearslong sexual assault case involving five girls who were between the ages of 9 and 11.
Anthony Mastrangelo, 27, pleaded guilty to five counts of sexual assault of a minor and five counts of risk of injury to a child in connection with incidents dating back to 2022.
The girls said Mastrangelo sexually assaulted them at summer camp or while he was babysitting them.
He was first arrested in May 2024 and charged with sexually assaulting one victim. He was arrested a month later and charged with the sexual assault of four other victims.
He was an employee of Bethany’s Parks and Recreation Department. He had also worked in the school district and as a babysitter.
In addition to four years behind bars, Mastrangelo was sentenced to 10 years of probation and will be required to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
During Tuesday’s sentencing in New Haven, Judge Tracy Lee Dayton had strong words for Mastrangelo and described his behavior as “shockingly predatory in nature.”
“I don’t know if anyone can steal anyone’s innocence. There’s only one guilty party here: Anthony Mastrangelo,” Dayton said.
Dayton also said she found it difficult to believe that there were only five victims.
Victims and their family members addressed the court during the sentencing. NBC Connecticut was not permitted to record the victims or their impact statements.
One victim told Mastrangelo that she cannot forgive and cannot forget, but that she can move forward and will never stop speaking up for herself.
One parent called Mastrangelo a “monster” and said he “deserves every bit of mental suffering he will endure.”
As she imposed the sentence, Dayton acknowledged that the amount of prison time may not provide solace to the victims and their families.
“I don’t feel it’s enough time,” Dayton said.
When the case broke in 2024, an independent report commissioned by the town later found that Bethany’s first selectwoman knew about allegations involving Mastrangelo as far back as two years before his arrest but did not remove him from his Parks and Recreation job.
She resigned last June.
The case also prompted a new Connecticut law adding oversight to municipally operated summer camps.
Mastrangelo’s family attended Tuesday’s sentencing. He and his family did not speak outside of court.
