Man faces up to 50 years for rape

A Central Islip man was convicted Monday afternoon of raping a young girl twice in 2008 and 2009, the Suffolk district attorney’s office said.

Sean Seignious, 28, was convicted of two counts of first-degree rape, as well as one count of first-degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a minor, said district attorney's office spokesman Bob Clifford.

He faces a maximum of 50 years in prison when Suffolk County Court Judge Barbara Kahn sentences him on Aug. 10.

Seignious was on parole for a weapons charge when he was arrested in arrested January 2010. Clifford said Seignious had served two years in jail on that charge before being paroled.

The jury deliberated less than a day after a trial of more than two weeks.
