IRON MOUNTAIN, MI— A Kingsford man has been sentenced for sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl.
Justin Harvala, 34, was convicted of second-degree criminal sexual conduct and for being a habitual offender, fourth offense, in March. He was sentenced in Dickinson County Circuit Court Monday to 142 months to 35 years in prison.
The assault happened in February of 2021 at the victim’s home. It was captured on a "nannycam" while her mother was in another room. The mother immediately confronted Harvala, told him to leave, and contacted police.
The Michigan Attorney General’s Office assisted in the case.
