## Resource

A jury in Madison County just convicted Roger Mickan on seven counts of first-degree statutory sodomy, stemming from repeated sexual abuse of a child in 2022. The two-day trial featured seven witnesses, including the victim, leading to a recommended 50-year sentence in Missouri’s Department of Corrections. Mickan awaits formal sentencing on October 1, but the jury’s verdict marks a powerful step toward justice for the victim and their family, as the Attorney General’s office vows to continue fighting for survivors.
