Jurors returned guilty verdicts on all 9 charges, Friday.

Ross County jurors in the Gary Freeland child molestation trial have returned guilty verdicts on all 9 counts, which include: 4 counts of gross sexual imposition, 3 counts of rape, and 2 counts of felonious sexual penetration.

"Obviously, it was a hard trial for both sides, but the jurors came back with guilties," said Marianne Hemmeter, an assistant with the Ohio Attorney General's Office.

"I think the victims finally feel like there's justice."

Freeland's former stepson and stepdaughter, as well as a person he tutored, all testified that they'd been molested by Freeland.

Sentencing will be held on October 5th at 2 p.m.
