MANCHESTER, N.H.- A former employee of the Youth Development Center has been found guilty on two out of the three charges he was facing for the sexual assault of a resident.

A jury on Monday found James Woodlock guilty of two counts of being an accomplice to aggravated felonious sexual assault.

Prosecutors said that in the late 1990s, Woodlock held down and, in some cases, beat YDC resident David Meehan, who said he was being sexually assaulted by then-YDC employees Steven Murphy and Jeffrey Buskey.

Woodlock is scheduled to be sentenced in December.
