A jury found a Lancaster County man guilty of having sex or sexual contact with five girls.
The jury said he was guilty of 19 different counts related to those girls. Prosecutors say he lured them to his home with an arcade, got them drunk and raped them.
The arcade that Daniel Leppien is accused of using to attract the teens, sits closed on West Market Street in Marietta.
A jury convicted the 35-year-old after hearing testimony from five victims, who were 15 and 16 in 2011 when the contact happened.
They told the jury Leppien hired some of them, then had sex with four of them and fondled another over a four month period.
Fred Brommer lives near the Dark Pegasus, "I live about two doors down from there. Kids always hang out there and stuff. It always seemed a little funny, like there were things going on there."
He's relieved to hear Leppien was convicted and could face anywhere from ten years to life in prison.
"I think it's deserved, fooling with kids like that. There's no place for that here in this world." Brommer said.
It's unlikely Leppien will be sentenced to just ten years.
