Justin Carrino, 31, was convicted of predatory sexual assault, two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual abuse, first-degree rape, two counts of second-degree assault and first-degree criminal contempt in 2013, the story said. 

The appellate division of the New York State Supreme Court has granted Carrino a retrial due to statements that were made after he invoked his right to counsel. Nevertheless, these statements were submitted as evidence for the trial, the story said. 

A defendant cannot be questioned after invoking right to counsel unless first obtaining a waiver in the presence of an attorney, the story said.
