According to a news release from the Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney in Russell County, Mickey Douglas Meade, Jr. was found guilty after a two-day trial.

In total, Meade was found guilty of three counts of sodomy, five counts of aggravated sexual battery and two counts of indecent liberties of a child.
