He is to receive a total effective sentence of twenty-five years execution suspended after he serves six years incarceration followed by thirty years of probation. The first two years of his probation he will be essentially under house arrest and subjected to electronic monitoring utilizing GPS tracking. He must register as a Sex Offender; undergo Sex Offender Evaluation and Treatment; have no direct or indirect contact with the victims or their immediate families; no unsupervised contact with any child under the age of sixteen years of age; subject himself to the full complement of conditions by which the Office of Adult Probation may monitor sex offenders; and sign and comply with Probation conditions restricting his access and use of computers and electronic devices including cameras and recording equipment.

The State of Connecticut and the state of New York, where Hanson had been admitted to the practice of law, are both seeking to permanently revoke his law licenses.

At the time of his initial arrest in September, 2005 Hanson was an attorney actively practicing law in the Connecticut courts as well as in the Federal Immigration Courts.

The victims of the Sexual Assaults and Risk of Injury Charges were fourteen and fifteen at the time of the assaults. Hanson initiated contact with them through the course of his legal practice involving the victims and/or members of their families. The Sexual Assaults took place at various locations including Hanson's Law Offices on Main Street , Hartford.

The criminal investigation of Hanson continued after Hanson's initial arrest in September, 2005. The investigation was lead by Detective Sabine Nyenhuis of the Hartford Police Department; Investigator Norman Tacey of the Hartford State's Attorney's Office; and Daniel Tramontozzi of the Connecticut State Police's Computer Crimes and Electronic Evidence Laboratory. Their investigative research lead to the recovery of over six hundred sexually explicit images that Hanson had stored and then attempted to delete from his workplace computers. These images were the basis for the Possession of Child Pornography charges that Hanson was later arrested on and to which he eventually plead guilty to.

Hanson continued, even after he was ordered held on bond following his arrest on new charges in March, 2007, to effectuate contact with the victims in an effort to coerce them into not cooperating with the State. Letters sent from prison by Hanson to the victims and members of their families gave rise to the Tampering With Witness Charges filed against Hanson.

In commenting on Hanson's sentencing, Hartford Police Chief Daryl K. Roberts stated, "The sentencing of Kweku Hanson today is the culmination of more than two years of hard work on the part of investigators of the HPD's Juvenile Investigative Division, particularly HPD Detective Sabine Nyenhuis, the Hartford State's Attorney's Office and the Connecticut State Police's Computer Crimes Laboratory.  Their unrelenting pursuit of evidence in this case is a testament to their dedication and commitment to protect and serve the public.  As a result of their actions a sexual predator will be locked up and will no longer be a threat to young women everywhere."
