BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Convicted child molester Roy Harriger has been convicted again, this time in another state and by yet another accuser.

But for the first time, he’s admitting to years of abuse.

Harriger has now been convicted of sexually abusing children within his own family and accused of molesting children associated with his church.

Until he was jailed in April 2015, Harriger continued to preach at Community Fellowship Church in Johnson Creek.

In April 2015, members of Harriger’s family, including his son, reacted to what they and investigators described as sexual abuse of children that goes back 40 years.
