BAY CITY, MI -- A Bay County jury convicted a Detroit-area man of molesting a sleeping girl nearly two years ago.

After deliberating for an hour and 15 minutes on Wednesday, May 17, the jury found 35-year-old Tory N. Bryant guilty on one count of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct with a victim between the ages of 13 and 15. The charge is a high-court misdemeanor punishable by up to two years' incarceration.

Bryant faced no other charges, but was convicted as a habitual offender, potentially increasing his eventual penalty.

Bryant's trial began the day beforehand. During the trial, a girl from Warren testified she was 14 on Sept. 5, 2015, and visited Bay City for an uncle's wedding. Bryant, of Oak Park, was a groomsman in the wedding.

Both the girl and Bryant spent the night at the uncle's Banks District home, according to Bay County Assistant Prosecutor Bernard J. Coppolino. The girl testified she awoke to find Bryant on top of her and touching her in a sexual manner.

The incident was initially reported to Warren police officers before it made its way to Bay County.

Bryant, who was represented by attorney Andrea J. LaBean, did not take the stand in his own defense.

Bay County Circuit Judge Harry P. Gill is to sentence Bryant at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, June 26.
