Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn announces that 28-year-old Alexander Brewer of North Tonawanda was sentenced this morning before State Supreme Court Justice M. William Boller to a determinate sentence of 15 years in prison followed by 15 years of years of post-release supervision. He will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release.

During the late evening hours of October 6, 2020 and into the early morning hours of October 7, 2020, the defendant subjected a female victim to sexual contact by forcible compulsion at a home in the Town of Cheektowaga. The defendant’s actions caused serious physical injuries to the victim, which required her to be hospitalized at ECMC.

Brewer pleaded guilty to one count of Assault in the First Degree (Class “B” violent felony) and one count of Aggravated Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree (Class “C” felony) on December 17, 2021. He pleaded guilty to the highest sustainable charge in the indictment against him.

DA Flynn commends Detectives Michael Hockwater and Terry Griffin of the Cheektowaga Police Department for their work in the investigation.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant Chief Cathleen M. Roemer of the Special Victims/Domestic Violence Bureau.
