On August 25, 2025, a Worcester County Superior Court judge sentenced Colton Paszkowski, 27, of Millbury, to 8-10 years in prison for raping a 15-year-old girl. The sentencing was announced by Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early, Jr.
Following a two-day trial that concluded on August 15, 2025, a Worcester County Superior Court jury found Mr. Paszkowski guilty of six counts of rape of a child. He was acquitted of one count of witness intimidation.
Judge William Ritter imposed three concurrent sentences of 8-10 years in prison, along with three years of probation to commence after the prison term.
The incidents leading to the charges occurred in 2021 across the towns of Northbridge, Millbury, and Sutton. Mr. Paszkowski was arrested in December 2021 and subsequently indicted in Worcester Superior Court in March 2023.
District Attorney Early expressed gratitude towards Assistant District Attorney Mark McShera and Victim Witness Advocate Taylor Picard for their efforts throughout the case. He also acknowledged the collaborative investigation conducted by the Northbridge, Millbury, and Sutton Police Departments.
