BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Buffalo man has been sentenced for the predatory sexual assault against a child. 

Steven Burr, 51, was sentenced in State Supreme Court Tuesday to 32-years to life in prison. 

Investigators say Burr had subjected a child to sexual contact on August 27 through the 29 in 2016. They say he then engaged in more acts of a sexual contact with the children from September 2016 through February 2018.  The child was less than 13 years old and was known to Burr. 

The crimes had been committed at a location in the City of Buffalo. 

A jury had found Burr guilty in March of one count of Predatory Sexual Assault against a child, and one count of Sexual Abuse in the first degree. 

A final order of protection was issued on behalf of the victim, and their family which will remain in effect until March 2074.
