Former Warren County Corrections Officer Sentenced to Incarceration

BALLSTON SPA — Saratoga County District Attorney announced Stephen A. Frank, 48, of Lake George, was sentenced May 2 to an aggregate 8-1/3 to 25 years following a jury trial during which he was found guilty of four counts of criminal contempt, three counts of aggravated criminal contempt, and two counts of assault. A week-long trial took place in January.  

“A Saratoga County Court jury heard testimony from multiple witnesses regarding defendant Frank’s actions that resulted in injuries to the victim on multiple dates. He was also convicted of repeatedly violating orders of protection,” Heggen said in a statement. 

The victim provided the court with a statement describing how the defendant’s abuse caused physical injury as well as lasting emotional and mental wellbeing effects, Heggen added, and also spoke about similar effects Frank’s actions had on two minors – one of whom testified at the trial. 

The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Jennifer Pratt and Joseph Frandino, together with county District Attorney Investigator Jack Barney.
