Sedgwick County jurors have returned a guilty verdict against a former Wichita hockey player charged with sexually abusing a 9-year-old.

Michael A. Chighisola, 49, was convicted Friday of two counts of rape and one count of aggravated criminal sodomy of a child younger than 14, according to Dan Dillon, spokesman for the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office. Jurors acquitted him of four additional counts: two of rape and two of aggravated criminal sodomy.

The crimes took place in 2008 after the passage of Jessica’s Law, which strengthened penalties for some child sex offenders. That means Chighisola could be ordered to serve a sentence of life in prison on each conviction.

Chighisola joined the Wichita Thunder in 1995 and was a top scorer that season but was suspended after he stole money from his teammates in January 1996. He did not play a complete season.

He remains jailed in lieu of $100,000 bond, according to online jail records. A sentencing date has not yet been set.

for child sex abuse

BETTENDORF, Iowa (AP) — A Bettendorf man has been sentenced to up to 30 years in prison for sexually abusing a child younger than 12 over a three-year period.

21-year-old Joshua Daniel Morales pleaded guilty in June to three counts of lascivious acts with a child.

Morales was sentenced Thursday to up to 10 years in prison on each count. The sentences will run back-to-back.

In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dismissed one count of second-degree sexual abuse, a felony punishable by up to 25 years.

Now that is a good plea bargain! Not like so many I have seen where the pervert gets away with half or more of the evil he did.

Prosecutors say the Scott County Sheriff’s Department received a report Jan. 7 of a sexual assault that happened between 2012 and 2015.

Investigators say Morales was 17 and the child was 7 when the abuse began.
