James D. Wolf Jr. of the Gary Post-Tribune reports, in a story that begins:

VALPARAISO -- A jury of six people found former attorney, Lake County prosecutor and Hebron Councilman Michael Haughee guilty of sexual battery, criminal confinement and interference with the reporting of a crime Friday night.

Haughee, who committed these offenses against a woman in a wheelchair, faces two to seven years in prison when he is sentenced on March 6.

The verdicts, returned about 9 p.m., followed Haughee's testimony on the witness stand.
