A jury convicted Siladke of child abuse after a six-week trial.

"We stand firm against the abuse of children, ensuring that those who inflict harm upon the innocent face the consequences of their actions," Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a statement.

Sentencing is scheduled for July 23.
