On Wednesday, June 11th, Austin Miller-Robinson was sentenced to 18 to 20 years in State Prison for the charges of Aggravated Rape of a Child with Force and Rape and Abuse of a Child Aggravated by Age Difference. Miller-Robinson was found guilty of these crimes by a jury of his peers on June 4th.
District Attorney Shugrue, co-founder of the Kids’ Place Child Advocacy Center, stated, “This is an important victory for the children and citizens of Berkshire County. I will always advocate for the strongest possible penalties under the law for anyone who harms our children.”
District Attorney Shugrue requested the crimes be sentenced to the maximum sentenced and be served consecutively. He commented, “While the sentence is less than my request, and the criminal penalties are to be served concurrently, the 18-to-20-year sentence is substantial. Today is a good day for the children in the Berkshires.”
