A Beloit man is headed to prison after a Rock County jury finds him guilty of repeated sexual assault of a child and incest following a three-day trial.
According to the criminal complaint, and testimony at trial, 27-year-old Markham raped and sodomized a child he is related to beginning in January of 2024 when they were seven-years-old.
It was the same victim that 53-year-old Kelly Faye Markham and 57-year-old Spencer Markham of Janesville – Cody’s parents – were convicted of sexually assaulting when they were only five years old in 2021.
Spencer Markham is currently serving 30 years in prison. Kelly Markham was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Markham’s attorney Steven Zaleski maintained that the victim was recalling details from previous sexual assaults; and that they lied about incidents with Cody Markham because they wanted to live with their mother.
Sentencing is set for July 18th.
