GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) -- A Grand Forks man faces up to life in prison after being convicted of sexually abusing a child over five years.
Forty-three-year-old Gerald Middleton is to be sentenced Jan. 4. A jury convicted him Friday on charges of continual sexual abuse of a child and corruption of a minor after a weeklong trial that included about eight hours of deliberations.
Authorities say the abuse happened from 2004 to 2009. The victim, who is now 17, contacted police in January.
