Jones of seven charges related to sexual assault of a child including, Sexual Assault of a Child Under Age 13; Repeated Sexual Assault of a Child, two counts of Incest, and three counts of Exposing Genitals.

The convictions came after a two-day jury trial. Jones has previously been convicted of numerous charges related to sexual assault of different children. Those previous convictions include: three counts of First Degree Sexual Assault of a Child, two counts of Possession of Child Pornography, and one count of Second Degree Sexual Assault.

After the two days of trial, the jury deliberated for approximately six and a half hours, over two days, before reaching their verdicts. Monroe County District Attorney Kevin Croninger stated, “Brian Jones is a serial rapist, pedophile and pervert. While he had previously been convicted of serious child sex offenses in Juneau County for crimes committed against other victims, it is extremely important to obtain justice for all victims. The jury in this case listened closely to the evidence, engaged in thorough deliberations and delivered justice for the victim in this case. We are extremely grateful to the jury for doing so. The victim in this case has experienced a significant amount of trauma because of the conduct of Mr. Jones, despite that she was able to take the stand and testify with incredible strength and clarity about the perverted, disgusting, and illegal acts Mr. Jones committed against her.”
