VOORHEESVILLE — A 17-year-old man with a history was arrested for sexually abusing two young boys.

Michael T. Hallenbeck was arrested at his home at 12A South Main St. in Voorheesville on Aug. 29 without a sign of remorse, said Senior Investigator Ron Bates of the Albany County Sheriff’s Department.

An investigation done by the county’s Child Protective Services and the sheriff’s department found that Hallenbeck, a Votec student, had abused the boys, who are ages seven and eleven, between December of 2006 and April of 2007 in Kissel’s trailer park, Bates said.

Hallenbeck was charged with second-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, a felony; second-degree sex abuse, a misdemeanor; and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor, according to a release.

Hallenbeck was put in Albany County’s jail on Aug. 29 and was out on $15,000 cash bail the next day, Bates said.
