Judge Robert Peeler sentenced Rogers to life in prison. His first opportunity for parole will be in 15 years.
In August 2022, the 8-year-old victim disclosed the abuse to her mother, who then reported It to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office. The victim reported Rogers had been sexually abusing her since the age of 5.
Rogers has been designated as a Tier III sexual offender, requiring him to register with the sheriff’s office every 90 days for the remainder of his life.
“I’m so grateful that this jury listened to the testimony of that little girl, and in handing down this verdict told her, ‘We believe you,’ ” said Warren County Prosecutor David P. Fornshell.
