A Conover man will spend up to 19 years in prison following a statutory rape conviction in Catawba County this week.

23-year old Darwin Aguilar Vasquez entered a guilty plea on Monday in Catawba County Superior Court.

Judge Greg Hayes handed down a prison sentence of 12-19 years for statutory rape of a child younger than 15 years of age.

Vasquez also will have to register as a sex offender for 30 years and will be deported when his prison sentence ends.
The offenses covered a period of 10 months from November 2021 to August 2022 and involved a 13-year-old female victim.

The case was investigated by the Newton Police Department with assistance from the Children’s Advocacy and Protection Center of Catawba County.
