FLINT, Mich. – A Flint teenager was found guilty Wednesday on four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, the Genesee County Prosecutor's Office announced.
Frederick Dwayne Garth Jr., 17, faces life in prison for the sexual assaults of three victims from January 2014 to September 2015, officials said.

The victims revealed the assaults after an older sister questioned one of the victims about behavioral issues, officials said.
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said he was pleased with the verdict in this difficult case.
"Some members of the victims' family tampered with our witnesses," Leyton said. "We actually were forced to arrest witnesses. But we did what we had to do to obtain justice for these victims and get this predator off the streets."
Garth is expected to be sentenced Nov. 13 by Circuit Judge Richard Yuille. He also faces extradition to Washington, where he will face sexual-assault charges, officials said.
