Dighton Man Sentenced to 30-50 Years for Criminal Sexual Conduct Against Minor

LANSING – Ryan Beebe, 35, of Dighton, was sentenced to 30-50 years’ incarceration on November 24 after a Wexford County jury convicted him last month of multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct involving a minor victim, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Beebe was found guilty of two counts of First-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct and two counts of Second-Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct. 

“I am proud of the work my prosecutors have done to pursue justice for the victim of this case, and I am grateful to the survivor who showed tremendous courage in coming forward to speak out against these horrific crimes,” Nessel said. “This significant sentence reinforces our commitment to supporting survivors of sexual abuse and holding their abusers accountable.”   

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.
