A jury has found James Bentley guilty of sexually abusing Jetseta Gage, a Cedar Rapids girl who was later murdered.

Jurors found Bentley guilty of second-degree sex abuse Friday morning after a trial that began Monday.

Bentley was accused of abusing the 10-year-old girl, who was later kidnapped and killed by his brother, Roger Bentley. He's serving a life sentence for that crime.

James Bentley is already serving a 100-year sentence for sexual exploitation and child pornography for taking explicit photos of Gage and a 1-year-old girl.

The sexual abuse trial was moved from Benton County to Osceola because of pretrial publicity.
