He was accused in a brutal five-day assault on the woman, where he raped her and burned her, prosecutors said.
John C. Heidrich, of Halfmoon, was found guilty by a Saratoga County jury of a total of 16 counts, including first-degree kidnapping, first-degree rape and first-degree criminal sexual act.
He now faces up to 25 years in state prison on the top counts, and some of the sentences could be consecutive. He is to be sentenced in September.
The jury found Heidrich subjected a 57-year-old woman to sexual and physical assaults over the five days, leaving her with multiple injuries, including cuts, bruising and burn marks, prosecutors said. A release did not indicate when the attack occurred.
