(WWJ) – A Macomb County Man has been found guilty of sexually abusing his own daughter over the course of 10 years.
After a six-day trial by a Macomb County jury, Edwin Jenkins, 50, was convicted of four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person under 13.
The Macomb County Prosecutor's Office says he assaulted his daughter from the age of three until she was 13. Authorities did not specify when the abuse happened.
Prosecutor Pete Lucido said the conviction shows "justice can prevail even in the face of unimaginable pain."
"The defendant's actions, spanning over a decade, shattered innocence and inflicted lasting injury," Lucido said, per a press release. " While we cannot erase the past, we can ensure that the survivor's bravery leads to a future where healing and accountability stand strong."
