03 May Mayes County Man Guilty of Sexually Abusing Children is Sentenced to Five Life Sentences Plus 150 Years in Prison
Mayes County CF-2020-316
A Mayes County jury found Johnny Duwaye Wiley guilty of all counts of sexually abusing six children between 2016 through 2019.
The children had to go on the witness stand and testify during the seven-day trial.
Another survivor testified she suffered the same kind of repeated attacks by Wiley for years before the 2019 abuse started on the other kids.
Wiley’s jury’s sentence:
Count 1: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE (a FELONY) — Life
Count 2: LEWD OR INDECENT PROPOSALS TO CHILD UNDER 16 (a FELONY) – 50 Years
Count 3: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE (a FELONY) — Life
Count 4: LEWD OR INDECENT PROPOSALS TO CHILD UNDER 16 (a FELONY) – 50 Years
Count 4: LEWD OR INDECENT PROPOSALS TO CHILD UNDER 16 (a FELONY) – 50 Years
Count 5: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE (a FELONY) — Life
Count 6: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE (a FELONY) — Life
Count 7: LEWD OR INDECENT PROPOSALS TO CHILD UNDER 16 (a FELONY) – 50 years
Count 8: CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE (a FELONY) — Life
The lead investigator on the case says the abuse was not only severe but Wiley committed the sexual crimes frequently over a span of years. The children suffered rapes, sexual abuse and exposure to pornography at Wiley’s hands.
District Attorney Matt Ballard says, “I am so thankful the members of the jury told these children clearly — we believe you, and we’ll protect you and others. So today, the community can rest assured justice was served.”
Assistant District Attorneys Kali Strain and Zach Cabell are the prosecutors on the case, explaining, “It can be hard for a jury when there’s no forensic evidence, but this jury understood that delayed disclosure of abuse by children is normal. It’s rare for a child to be able to report the crime within the timeframe when physical evidence could be collected.”
