Michael York - Repeat Sex Offender - Discovers cure for recidivism

  • Conviction date: 12/18/1992
  • Sexual Abuse-1st Degree
  • Offender's age at conviction: 28
  • Victim Age: 7


Authorities are investigating the death of a 44-year-old central New York man in his jail cell hours before he was to be sentenced for having sexual contact with a teenage boy

Madison County Sheriff Ronald Cary says Michael York of Eaton was found unresponsive in his Madison County Jail cell about 2 a.m. Tuesday during a check by deputies.

Cary calls York's death "an apparent suicide" but said no other details are available at this time. An autopsy will be performed by the Onondaga County Medical Examiner. Cary says the death will be investigated by the state Commission of Corrections.

York was already a Level 3 registered sex offender after a 1992 conviction and had agreed to a 15-year-to-life sentence when he pleaded guilty to the latest charge in November.
