Fulton, N.Y. — A man fled Fulton after being accused of sexually abusing an 11-year-old child but later was arrested in the Hudson Valley, police said.
Christopher J. Rico, 39, of Middletown, had sexual contact with the 11-year-old over several months, said Sgt. Lucas H. Hollenbeck, a spokesperson for the Fulton police. Some of the abuse was recorded on his cell phone, he said Tuesday.
On June 22, a report was made to police about the abuse. After the police report, Rico fled, Hollenbeck said.
