(New Haven, CT) – New Haven State’s Attorney John P. Doyle, Jr., announced that the Honorable Elpedio Vitale today sentenced Maurice Brown, age 45, of New Haven, to 25 years in prison, suspended after 20 years served, followed by 10 years of probation, for a 2018 sexual assault in New Haven.
On March 6, 2023, a jury in New Haven Superior Court convicted Brown of Sexual Assault in the First Degree in violation of Connecticut General Statutes § 53a-70(a)(4), and Sexual Assault in the Third Degree in violation of Connecticut General Statutes § 53a-72a(a)(2).

The case was prosecuted by Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Alex C. Beck and Assistant State’s Attorney Kelly E. Davis, with assistance from former Special Inspector Michael Pendleton.
