Rochester man accused of sexually assaulting 13-year-old sentenced
Jonathan Mark Tompkin, 37, was charged with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of terroristic threats, all felonies. Tompkin pleaded guilty in January to three amended counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a presumptive sentence of five to seven years.
The charges stem from an August 2023 report when a witness told Rochester police that he read Instagram messages between the teenager and Tompkin regarding Tompkin assaulting the girl
Tompkin's attorney, Zachary Bauer, filed a motion for downward dispositional departure, or a lessened sentence, prior to his sentencing hearing on Monday afternoon, April 21. Bauer requested the court stay, or delay, a 60-month sentence.
Tompkin was convicted of all three amended counts on Monday, April 21.
Olmsted County District Judge Kathy Wallace ultimately sentenced Tompkin to 70 months in prison. Following his prison sentence, Tompkin will be placed on conditional release for 99 years.
According to the criminal complaint, RPD became aware of the sexual assaults on Aug. 12, 2023, after a witness told police about the messages he read on Instagram. The witness also said he saw Tompkin kiss the girl.
During an interview with police, the girl said that Tompkin met her on Snapchat and he would pick her up from a Rochester residence to bring him to his Rochester townhome. The girl told Tompkin that she was 13 years old but Tompkin said that was fine and that it "turns him on," according to the criminal complaint.
Tompkin gave the girl alcohol and marijuana and assaulted her multiple times, she told police. He also told the teen that he "owns her" and that when she turned 18, she would move in with him, she said.
At least one of the sexual assaults happened while she was sleeping, the complaint said.
He also threatened to shoot the girl and showed her a handgun, according to the complaint. At one point, he bought the girl Plan B.
A search of Tompkin's home produced drug paraphernalia, a Smith and Wesson 9mm handgun, ammo, used condoms and a Plan B box.
Tompkin denied having any sexual contact with the girl and said he thought she was 23. A medical exam of the girl noted injuries that could be consistent with sexual trauma.

Bomb-sniffing NYPD K-9s, handlers honored at French consulate for beefing up Paris Olympics security
It's nothing short of a grand prix. Four NYPD officers and their bomb-sniffing canine partners were honored for their service safeguarding the Paris Olympics at a ceremony at the French consulate in Manhattan Monday afternoon. Police Officers Rafael De La Cruz and Michael Fenimore and Detectives Nick Valez and Andrew Barron — and their hero dogs Davie, Gunner, Rico and Vito — received distinctive service awards at the Upper East Side delegation commemorating their service protecting last summer's international games.

James Messerschmidt The K-9 teams were tasked with patrolling the Paris Games' grounds and keeping a nose out for bombs, consulate reps said. 'The challenges were enormous in Paris last summer to ensure the safety of 15,000 athletes, 45,000 volunteers, and overall, 11 million spectators,' Consul General Céderik Fouriscot said to the officers. Advertisement 'The Paris game went off perfectly, and I want to say that you are an integral part of this success.' The massive undertaking to host the Olympics required French authorities to call on foreign law enforcement. 4 The K-9 teams were tasked with patrolling the Paris Games' grounds and keeping a nose out for bombs. Instagram/@k_9_gunner French authorities' liaison to the NYPD Police Commander Jean-François Meunier noted the host country 'asked especially for dogs because we didn't have enough dogs to cover all the Olympic sites.' Advertisement The NYPD officers and their dogs are specially trained to locate bombs, with K-9s assigned the critical duty of sniffing out chemicals associated with explosives. 'We take the odor and tie it to a toy, like a ball, and it's just repetition. The odor is just different chemical explosives,' said honoree Valez, 52, who has since retired from the force — as well as his K-9 Rico. 4 The massive undertaking to host the Olympics required French authorities to call on foreign law enforcement. James Messerschmidt Absent from the ceremony was Fenimore's dog, Gunner, who died in February. Advertisement Fenimore, who has since moved from the NYPD to the Clarkstown Police Department in Rockland County, said the loss of his four-legged friend deeply affected him. 'He was a perfectly healthy German Shepherd. Got blood cancer and was gone in three months. It's been brutal. He was my buddy for six years. He was the greatest dog. He was my life,' Fenimore said. 4 The NYPD officers and their dogs are specially trained to locate bombs.

Share best practices and this is done on a daily basis,' Detective Nicolas Gouzien, the NYPD's liaison to Paris and Monaco said. 'This is a great inflection point in our relationship between NYPD and French law enforcement. This was an opportunity to showcase specialty capabilities that the NYPD has and the whole world was watching our canines protect the games in an incredibly complex threat environment,' Deputy Commissioner Rebecca Weiner said. 'It was a tremendous honor and opportunity for the NYPD.'

Luciano Frattolin may have been struggling to pay child support while over $200,000 in debt: reports
Accused killer dad Luciano Frattolin may have been struggling to cover child support for his daughter, owing hundreds of thousands of dollars to creditors despite depicting a high-flying lifestyle on social media. The flailing 45-year-old Canadian coffee entrepreneur — charged Monday with the murder of his 9-year-old daughter Melina during a trip to upstate New York — had rented a property in the hip Montreal enclave of Mile End since 2020, which he sublet as an Airbnb, according to a report in La Presse. 3 Accused kid-killer Luciano Frattolin kept up appearances of a high-flying lifestyle on social media but was reportedly hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. LinkedIn/Luciano Frattolin He hired two property managers to run the venture, including having them make the rent payments he owed — enabling him to pay his daughter's child support with what he netted afterward, he said in court documents obtained by the outlet. Advertisement But his lease was terminated by the landlord in August 2024 when he fell $26,000 behind in rent. He was also being denied access to the property, where he said he stored his daughter's winter clothing and toys. He is currently suing the managers for more than $115,000, claiming they exploited the property without his knowledge and never made the rent payments as promised, according to Le Devoir. 3 The suspect ran a series of businesses, including two cafes and an Airbnb rental, which he said in court papers were to be able to help afford his slain daughter's child-support payments. Instagram/Luciano Frattolin Advertisement In turn, the managers alleged Frattolin had planned to empty his bank account and flee the country, which he denied. An employee of Dépanneur Café, a coffee shop Frattolin once owned and on which he still owes Bank of Nova Scotia about $83,000, said the accused killer had been splitting his time between Italy and Canada for the past 18 months. The bank said Frattolin also owed them $97,000 in unpaid credit-card debts from Café Gambella, another coffee shop bearing the same name as his online java business, Gambella Coffee. Advertisement At his arraignment in Ticonderoga Town Court on Monday afternoon, Frattolin said he couldn't afford a lawyer and requested a public defender. But his Instagram page paints a very different picture of his financial situation, rife with photos and posts featuring exotic travel and expensive sports cars and replete with statements such as, 'I am truly addicted to Porsche.' 3 Frattolin has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of his daughter, Melina. Essex County Sheriff's Office Frattolin and Melina had been traveling across Connecticut and New York as part of a custody arrangement he had with his ex-wife, from whom he split in 2019, New York State Police revealed at a press conference Monday. Advertisement Melina sounded fine when she made a phone call to her mom about 6:30 p.m., shortly before the girl and her dad were scheduled to fly back to Quebec, police said. The dad then reported her missing that night — claiming she'd been snatched by two men in a white van around 7:40 p.m., just an hour after the call with her mom, the Albany Times-Union said. Hours later, authorities found her body under a log in shallow water near New York's border with Vermont, with cops later saying the kidnapping report he filed was bogus. He was charged with second-degree murder and concealment of a human corpse. He's due back in court July 25.
