In 35 minutes, a jury convicted Jones of the following:
- five counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, person under 13, defendant over 17 (a 25-year mandatory, up to life felony)
- two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, person under 13, defendant over 17 (a 15-Year Felony)

He will be sentenced on Tuesday, May 2.
"I would like to thank the Roseville Police Department for investigating and the U.S. Marshalls for returning the defendant to stand trial in Macomb County," said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
