An Alabama man was found guilty of a dozen criminal charges, including rape, robbery, sexual torture, and theft, in connection with allegations of sexually abusing and robbing women.

An Alabama man accused of sexually abusing and robbing women he met on websites was convicted Tuesday on a dozen criminal charges including rape, robbery, sexual torture and theft.

Birmingham news outlets say Jonathan Lockett, 43, was convicted by a jury after seven hours of deliberations that began Friday.

Jefferson County prosecutors Isabella Colombo and Julie McMakin said Lockette preyed on women who were down on their luck and who had turned to prostitution.

Sentencing is set for Oct. 16, according to AL.com.
