A former missionary was found guilty Jan. 22 of sexually abusing seven children from the Indian Village of Canyon City.

William Douglas, 57, had pleaded not guilty to 12 counts of gross indecency over the assaults which took place in the village's one-room schoolhouse in the 1960s.

Douglas could face a 20-year prison term when he is sentenced March 20.
