A Dearborn man was found guilty on charges stemming from multiple sexual assaults on a child over several years in Roseville, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Elie Otayek, 43, was found guilty on Nov. 21 following a three-day jury trial on charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and second-degree criminal sexual conduct.

The jury reached its verdict after eight hours of deliberations.
