The allegations arose in January 2023 after a child in middle school disclosed sexual abuse. The child first told her mother, who reported the allegations to law enforcement.
The victim and her younger sibling participated in forensic interviews. Other family members were also interviewed.
After a four-day trial where multiple experts, the child’s mother and the victim testified, the jury returned a guilty verdict against Gay.
