A man accused of raping a teenage acquaintance was convicted by a Limestone County jury this afternoon, according to District Attorney Brian Jones.
After deliberating for just under two hours, the jury returned with guilty verdicts for one count of first-degree rape and two counts of second-degree rape against 25-year-old Austin Smith Clem, Jones said. Clem will be sentenced Nov. 13 in Limestone County Circuit Court.
The trial got underway Tuesday, with Jones calling several witnesses, including the victim, her best friend, her father and a nurse. Dan Totten, Clem's attorney, did not call any witnesses, Jones said. Closing arguments were today.
