Ronald Starkey, 40, was found guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14 Thursday afternoon and was sentenced to 50 years in prison and assessed a fine of $10,000 by a 12-member Jack County jury.

Following closing arguments Thursday morning, the jury came back in less than two hours finding the former Perrin Baptist youth minister guilty of sexually assaulting his then 3-year-old adoptive daughter in May 2004.

The trial began Tuesday with witness testimony continuing through Wednesday afternoon. The prosecution called 271st District Attorney Investigator Rob Pawley, Oklahoma State Investigator Special Agent Troy Morris, the victim’s mother Kimberly Buckner, Annie Downey and the 17-year-old victim.
