Man admits he sexually abused two girls repeatedly in the 1990s

Bruce Sadler, 59, yesterday pleaded guilty to two counts of rape of a child for repeated incidents in the early 1990s while he lived in Mattapan and other parts of Boston, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

Had the case proceeded to trial, Assistant District Attorney Alissa Goldhaber of the DA’s Child Protection Unit would have presented evidence and testimony to prove that Sadler improperly touched two girls who were known to him and who were between the ages of 7 and 11 when the abuse occurred. Sadler abused one of the victims between 1990 and 1993 and the second between 1993 and 1995, during a period that Sadler lived in Mattapan and elsewhere in the city of Boston.

Both victims reported making statements to family members about the abuse within years of its occurrence. However, the assaults were not reported to Boston Police until 2012, after one of the victims made a more detailed disclosure to a relative who later contacted police. When the relative confronted him about the abuse, the evidence would have shown, Sadler made statements in the presence of multiple witnesses admitting that he assaulted the two victims.

Sadler is scheduled for sentencing on April 5.
