Hebron man sentenced to 60 years for sexually abusing minors

WICOMICO CO., Md. – A Hebron man has been sentenced to six decades behind bars for sexually abusing minors.

From August of 2018 through July of 2022, officials say 49-year-old Harold Cuff sexually abused three minor children, ranging from 3 years to 15 years of age.

Cuff pleaded guilty back in February to sex abuse of a minor, second degree rape, and two counts of third degree sex offense. At the time of this conviction, Cuff had been on supervised probation for previous convictions on first degree burglary and first degree assault charges. He was sentenced last week to an aggregate sentence of 60 years of incarceration, which includes a 25-year minimum mandatory sentence.

The aggregate sentence is the total consecutive sentence for the new conviction and violations of probation.

Cuff was found to be a third-time subsequent offender for crimes of violence and was also determined to be a sexually violent predator.
