An Effingham County jury Tuesday found a local man guilty of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child.

31-year-old Darien McKinney of Effingham was found guilty of the Class X felony after less than an hour of deliberation. Sentencing is scheduled for November 20. The offense is punishable by six to 60 years in prison.

McKinney was found guilty of actions involving a 12-year-old girl during a three-month period in 2015 while the girl and her uncle were living with McKinney in a home in Effingham.
