Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said his office has convicted a former Flint man on 13 felony child sexual assault cases. This is the third jury trial and conviction in the past week involving a child sexual assault case.
Henry H. Royster, 50, was convicted of 13 counts of criminal sexual conduct first degree involving a person under the age of 13 related to multiple incidents that occurred from approximately October 2000 to October 2007.
“The fact that this is the third jury trial conviction in just over a week involving sexual assaults against a minor is testament to the fact that not only does this reprehensible act occur in our community but also that it is a priority of my office to hold perpetrators of such acts accountable under the law and to see that they are taken off our streets and locked up so they cannot continue to prey on the young and vulnerable,” said
Leyton.
Royster faces a mandatory minimum term of 25 years and up to life in prison when he is
sentenced on September 27th.
