A software consultant, Srinivasa S Erramilli, was also fined $ 5,000 and placed on court supervision for a year after he is released from custody by US District Judge Joan H Lefkow.
The judge set a hearing for next Wednesday on the government's request to revoke Erramilli's bond.
The man from Andhra Pradesh has been prohibited from airline travel while he is on supervised release and he is subject to deportation to India after being released from custody, the Department of Justice said.
In her order, judge Lefkow agreed with federal prosecutors that a custodial sentence was necessary to deter Erramilli and others from invading an individual's bodily integrity and also to ensure that victims of abusive sexual contact will be heard and given protection.
In fact, Erramilli has scored a hattrick of such offences.
