Schoharie County — Schoharie County District Attorney Susan J.  Mallery announced that Christopher T. Labombard Jr., age 34, has  pleaded guilty to one count of Criminal Contempt in the First Degree,  a Class E felony. The charge stems from an incident in which Labombard  is alleged to have willfully violated a Schoharie County Family Court  Order prohibiting him from having contact with a protected child. The  violation was directly observed by Schoharie County Deputy Valvo,  who witnessed the prohibited contact. 

Labombard’s sentencing has been adjourned to August 14, 2025, at which  time the Court may impose an indeterminate sentence not to exceed one  (1) year minimum and three (3) years maximum. 

District Attorney Mallery thanked Deputy Valvo for her prompt response  and careful observation, and also extended her appreciation to Deputy  Rippel for his assistance in the investigation. 

“Protecting the safety and well-being of vulnerable individuals, especially  children, is of the utmost importance,” said DA Mallery. “Violations of  court orders will be prosecuted vigorously.”
