Update: The sentencing for 53-year-old Flanders resident Albert Carini, who pleaded guilty to charges that he sexually abused two children, was adjourned Tuesday morning.

Mr. Carini’s next sentencing date was set for July 19, court officials said.

Original: A Flanders man who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing two young children will be sentenced in Suffolk County criminal court Tuesday, according to online court records.

Albert Carini, 53, pleaded guilty on April 5 to felony second-degree course of sexual conduct against a child and a misdemeanor second-degree sexual abuse charge, Suffolk County criminal court records show.

Mr. Carini was accused of “engaged in two or more acts of sexual conduct” between mid-2011 and the end of May 2012 with a child younger than 11 years old, including at least one act of sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct, anal sexual conduct or aggravated sexual contact, according to a Suffolk County grand jury indictment.

He is scheduled to be sentenced before Judge Barbara Kahn Tuesday, according to online court records.

Mr. Carini was arrested on July 20, 2012 and was indicted by a grand jury that August. He was ordered to be held on $500,000 bond or $150,000 cash bail after pleading not guilty at his arraignment. He posted bail the next day, records show.

He has since been free on bail, jail officials said.
