WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (PIX11) -- A 60-year-old man pleaded guilty to raping an 11-year-old girl in 2024 in Peekskill, Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace announced Wednesday.

The defendant, Anselmo Yambay Pena, was hired to paint apartments at a residential building in Peekskill, prosecutors say.

The incident happened in an apartment on Feb. 15, 2024.

“I can only imagine the grief and horror experienced by the victim in this case because of this defendant’s depravity," DA Cacace said. "A guilty plea now provides her and her family with finality, without having to subject her to the difficult process of trial preparation. I am humbled by her courage and resilience in the face of this disturbing abuse, and my office will continue to provide her with supportive services.”
