Cuyahoga Falls man convicted of sexually assaulting two young girls he knew

A Cuyahoga Falls man was convicted by Summit County jurors this week of sexually assaulting two young girls he knew.

Jurors found Richard Schultz guilty Wednesday in Summit County Common Pleas Court of six counts of rape, first-degree felonies; five counts of gross sexual imposition, third-degree felonies; and one count of sexual battery, a third-degree felony.

Schultz, 55, will be sentenced July 19 by Judge Alison McCarty.

Prosecutors say the girls reported in July 2018 that Schultz molested them several times.

Attorneys Walter Benson and Jeff Laybourne represent Schultz.
