After about two hours of deliberation, the jury returned its guilty verdict on count one, molestation of a juvenile under 13 and count two, molestation of more than one year. The defendant was immediately taken into custody and is being held on a $500,000.00 post-conviction bond.

The sentencing range for count two is five to 40 years with or without hard labor.

“I cannot overstate my gratitude to the victim and her support system,” said District Attorney Joel T.

In addition, I would like to commend Casey Dieck and Rochelle Champagne Fahrig for their unwavering pursuit of justice in this case.”
