Appeals Court upholds Schenectady man guilty in sex case
The New York Appellate Division affirmed George Crandall 20 of Schenectady’s June 1974 and August 1975 convictions for first degree sexual abuse and second degree unlawful imprisonment involving a 16 year old girl. The court ruled errors in Crandall’s appeal did not overturn the 1975 verdict and noted Crandall remains serving a seven year maximum term. The case stemmed from sexual acts after he and others forced the girl into a car and a motel in Colonie in 1973.
