Justice Served After Decades of Silence | Harrisburg News

A 46-year-old man, Roberto Rosario, just received a 12- to 30-year prison sentence for raping and sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl in 1997 — a crime that shattered her life and took decades for her to finally speak out. In court, the now-44-year-old survivor delivered a raw, emotional statement describing the terror she felt that night and pleading with the judge to shield the world from him, convinced he can’t change. Rosario admitted trying to heal through therapy, meds, and faith — but the victim’s trauma remains deep. Her courage led to renewed police action, uncovering crimes by former officer Andrew Selby, who was also convicted. Rosario must also pay over $42,000 in restitution for years of therapy. The case, prosecuted by Detective Sergeant Jessica Higgins, is a harrowing reminder of how long-lasting trauma can be — and how justice, even decades late, can still find its way.
