ANTIOCH, Calif. (AP) An Antioch man is facing more than 200 years in prison after being convicted of molesting and taking pornographic pictures of a young female relative.
A jury on Monday found 54-year-old Kevin Mueller guilty of eight felony counts of sex acts on a child and one count of possession of child pornography and producing child pornography.
Authorities say Mueller molested the girl starting when she was 5 through his arrest in 2008 when she was 9. Mueller was previously convicted of child molestation in Nevada and was registered as a sex offender.
Authorities say he was arrested after police found child pornography on his computer.
Deputy public defender David Goldstein told jurors there was insufficient evidence to convict Mueller on the sex crime charges.
A sentencing date has not been set.
