Tommaso Dilillo Sentenced To 32 Years For Sexual Abuse Of 4-Year-Old Girl From Borough Park
A judge today threw the book at Tommaso Dilillo, a 35-year-old man found guilty of kidnapping and sexually abusing of a 4-year-old girl from Borough Park in 2007, District Attorney Charles Hynes announced.
Dilillo was convicted on November 12 of kidnapping in the second degree and sexual abuse in the first degree. He received 25 years for the kidnapping and seven for the sexual abuse. He is also sentenced to 10 years post-release supervision.
Here are the details of the case from a press release issued by the district attorney:
On July 16, 2007, Dilillo grabbed the girl from the front steps outside of her Borough Park home. He put her in his car and drove off with her. He later pulled the car over and sexually abused her. Dilillo removed the girl’s underwear and threw it out the car window. Then he drove her several blocks away and told her to get out of the car, which she did. A woman found the girl wandering on the street, and called police. Police recovered the underwear and found DNA on it in the form of saliva. However, at the time, they did not know whose DNA it was.
In July 2009, Dilillo and his sister were arrested in a sex trafficking case. In March 2011, the defendant pled guilty to Sex Trafficking in that case and was sentenced to a maximum of three years. As a result, he had to supply a DNA sample. The DNA matched the saliva found on the four-year-old’s underwear, and he was subsequently arrested for that case.
