    A Mesa County jury has found Grand Junction man, Aaron Neff, guilty on seven sex counts of sex assault for sexually abusing two girls, one for multiple years.

    Neff's five-day jury trial ended last week.

    He was initially tried in the case last October, but that trial ended in a mistrial after jurors heard more than they should about the defendant's criminal history.

    Neff was found guilty on two counts of sex assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, three counts of sex assault on a child and two other sex assault related counts.

    Neff also was found guilty on tampering with a witness or a victim and violation of a protection.

    Neff's sentencing is set for 8 a.m. May 24.
