Prosecutors say a suspect in a series of Interstate 35 rock-throwing incidents in Central Texas has been convicted of sexual abuse in an unrelated case.
A jury in Austin on Thursday convicted Patrick Eugene Johnson of aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child. Travis County jurors will decide punishment for the 60-year-old Johnson, who faces up to life in prison.
Authorities say Johnson, who was arrested in June, was charged with molesting a boy numerous times since 2012.
Johnson still faces multiple counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in what prosecutors say I-35 rock-throwing incidents in the Austin area.
Three motorists were injured, including a person who suffered brain damage after the rock crashed through his windshield in 2014.
