SKOKIE, Ill. - A Cook County jury has found a Des Plaines man guilty of sexually abusing his 10-year-old daughter, who was confined to a wheelchair.

Prosecutors say the jurors on Thursday convicted 38-year-old Gerson Carnalla-Ruiz on three counts of predatory criminal sexual assault for abusing his daughter in 2006.

The victim testified against her father during the 2-day trial, and prosecutors said they will ask that Carnalla-Ruiz receive an extended sentence when he is sentenced at the Skokie courthouse on Aug. 6.
