Harvey Man Convicted of Molesting Young Girls

A Harvey man who served as deacon at a New Orleans church has been convicted of sexually abusing girls as young as 4 years old.

Jefferson Parish prosecutors say his victims include a woman when she was a child and her two daughters more than decade later.

The Times-Picayune reports 58-year-old Michael Videau faces mandatory life in prison when he is sentenced next month.

A jury deliberated almost four hours Thursday before convicting Videau of seven counts, involving five victims.
