A 53-year-old St Joseph man is scheduled for sentencing next month after a jury found him guilty of sexually molesting a nine-year-old girl.

Thomas Doyle was charged with 1st degree child molestation and two counts of statutory sodomy. A jury rejected the sodomy charges but found Doyle guilty of child molestation.

Law enforcement officials say the victim did not come forward with the allegations for several years. The victim, now 18, describes three incidents she said occurred in May of 2005.

Circuit Judge Dan Kellogg scheduled sentencing November 6 at 2 p.m. The charge of 1st degree child molestation is a class-b felony, which carries a possible sentence of from five to 15 years.
