A 21-year-old Amherst man has been charged with repeatedly molesting a 3-year-old girl, authorities said.

Dylan Wright, of the 100 block of Cadman Drive, was arrested Thursday by Detectives Cindy Herberger and Mark Pitirri of the Special Victims Unit.

Wright is charged with predatory sexual assault, a Class-A felony; first-degree criminal sexual assault, a Class-B felony; first-degree sexual abuse, a Class-D felony; and endangering the welfare of a child, a Class-A misdemeanor.

"Our detectives first interviewed the child last Friday, and the investigation has been ongoing ever since," said Detective Lt. Joseph A. LaCorte, head of the special unit.

Wright was to be arraigned in Amherst Town Court.

Hard core criminals will deal with him they way he should be dealt with.
In countries that have the death penalty for such acts, have so much a lower number of perverted acts. This baby is scared for life, while the perpetrator will do a couple years in prison, at most, and be released to do it again and again. With any luck at all, he will not make it out of prison!!

Just disgusting to hear and see that there still are monsters out there. I hope this sick one spends the rest of his demonic life in jail. God bless and takes care of the children because they are the future of this earth.
