A Mexico, Missouriman was convicted of child sex crimes late Thursday, according to the Audrain County prosecutor’s office.

Thomas Miller, 49, was found guilty of child molestation, statutory sodomy, child abuse and endangerment charges. His sentencing is scheduled for September 19. Miller faces a minimum of five years in prison and a maximum of 44 years.
