"Kidnapper Receives 47-Year Sentence for Abducting 9-Year-Old in Upstate New York"

Craig N. Ross Jr. was sentenced to 47 years to life in prison for kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl from Moreau Lake State Park in upstate New York. The girl was found alive in a cabinet at a camper where Ross was staying, and the break in the case came when law enforcement matched fingerprints on a ransom note to Ross. He pleaded guilty in February and was sentenced to a minimum of 25 years to life for kidnapping and 22 years to life for predatory sexual assault of a child, with the sentences to be served consecutively.
