   Huntley   
      
   CORRECTION: A Batavia man convicted of predatory sexual assault against   
   children was sentenced to 45 years to life in prison, not 35 as reported last   
   week. Melvin A. Huntley, 40, had been found guilty of 16 charges related to   
   the repeated rapes and    
   sexual assaults against four children and was sentenced individually for each   
   count. The most severe sentences were 25-to-life for predatory sexual assault   
   and 20-to-life for a second count, which Judge Melissa Lightcap Cianfrini   
   ordered to be served    
   consecutively. The Daily News wrongly reported the term that Huntley received.   
      
   ---   
      
   BATAVIA — One of the most severe punishments handed down upon a serial child   
   rapist will put a Batavia man in prison for at least 45 years and possibly for   
   life.   
      
   Melvin A. Huntley, 40, was sentenced Monday in Genesee County Court on 16   
   charges, all related to the repeated sexual assaults upon four children during   
   a seven-year period.   
      
   Huntley in December was found guilty after a trial in County Court.   
      
   The most serious convictions were for three counts of predatory sexual assault   
   against a child, which carry a maximum penalty of 25 years to life in prison.   
      
   And that’s just what Judge Melissa Lightcap Cianfrini ordered for Huntley.   
      
   She sentenced him to 25 years to life for one count of predatory assault and a   
   consecutive term of 20 years to life for the second conviction, meaning he   
   will spend at least 35 years in prison, with at least 20 years of post-release   
   supervision should he    
   ever be released.   
      
   She sentenced him to 20 years to life to be served concurrently for the third   
   predatory assault conviction.   
      
   Cianfrini also sentenced Huntley to:   
      
   ■ Terms of 15 and 20 years for two counts of first-degree rape.   
      
   ■ A term of seven, two terms of five and two terms of four years for five   
   counts of first-degree sexual abuse.   
      
   ■ Four terms of 364 days in jail for four counts of endangering the welfare   
   of a child.   
      
   ■ And 90 days for third-degree sexual abuse.   
      
   Huntley was found not guilty of five other charges of first-degree sexual   
   abuse, third-degree sexual abuse and second-degree rape.   
      
   Huntley was first arrested in July 2021 after a Genesee County sheriff’s   
   investigation allegedly revealed he sexually assaulted a child under 11 from   
   September 2014 to September 2019.   
      
   Further investigation revealed three more victims, all under 17 and all   
   involving repeated acts of sexual assault.   
      
   In March, a Genesee County grand jury filed a 25-count indictment against   
   Huntley.   
      
   The trial lasted seven days. Assistant District Attorney Robert Zickl   
   prosecuted the case.
