SYDNEY: A Richmond County native received federal prison time for his role in sexual assaults over a 23-year span.
During a sentencing hearing in Sydney Supreme Court on February 13, Major Robert Gullickson received seven-and-a-half years in a federal prison for three counts of sexual assault. Gullickson received 41 days credit for time already spent in custody.
Gullickson pleaded guilty to the three charges on October 2. He originally faced three charges of sexual interference, one count of invitation to sexual touching, and three counts of sexual exploitation. Those seven counts were withdrawn the same day Gullickson pleaded guilty.
The dates of the offences range from March 1993 to May, 1998; May, 2008, to September 2012; and May 3, 2016, involving three complainants.
The court files on the matter list Gullickson’s former residence at Ranni Crescent in Sydney but while he was released on conditions, he was ordered to reside in Grand Anse.
