Norfolk resident Donald Gene Ferguson II, 51, was convicted by a federal jury on charges of abusive sexual contact with a minor while working, as a civilian DoD employee in Iwakuni, Japan.

Officials say that during the summer of 2019, while in military housing in Japan, Ferguson forced an 11-year-old to touch him inappropriately. While the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) was investigating the abuse, they discovered Ferguson also sexually abused a 12-year-old in the summer of 2012 while living in Florida. 

No charges were announced in Florida by the Department of Justice.

When he is sentenced in May, Ferguson faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
