Dighton Man Convicted of Multiple Counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct Against Minor

LANSING – Yesterday, Ryan Beebe, 35, of Dighton, was convicted by the Wexford County jury of multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct involving a minor victim, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Following the jury trial, Beebe was found guilty of two counts of First-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct, potential life sentences, and two counts of Second-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct, each a 15-year felony. 

Beebe sexually assaulted the minor on multiple occasions when they resided in the same Wexford County home between 2016 and 2021. The abuse began when the victim was 8 years old. The Wexford County Prosecuting Attorney's Office charged Beebe in January. The prosecution was handled by the Department of Attorney General. 

“No child should ever endure the pain and trauma of sexual abuse,” Nessel said. “My office will continue to stand with and pursue justice for survivors.” 

A sentencing date has not yet been set.
