A Georgia man faces sentencing next month after he was found guilty of Criminal Sexual Conduct, along with other charges stemming from alleged incidents that occurred more than 17 years ago.
63-year-old James Carter was charged with four counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct 1st degree, along with two counts of accosting a child for immoral purposes.
A Hillsdale County Circuit Court jury found him guilty on Wednesday of five charges. He was acquitted of one count of Accosting a Child for Immoral Purposes.
Authorities say Carter sexually assaulted a minor and approached another victim inappropriately in 2008.
The Hillsdale County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office first charged him in August 2011.
He faces the possibility of life in prison when he’s sentenced on March 19th.
Carter’s extradition was part of Operation Survivor Justice, a collaborative effort involving the Michigan Department of Attorney General, local prosecutors, and the U.S. Marshal’s office.
He remains lodged in the Hillsdale County jail.
