MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Shelby County jury has convicted a house guest from West Memphis of raping his friend’s three young daughters and a niece.
The Shelby County District Attorney General’s Office said Rodger Bridges, aka Roger Bridges, 54, was convicted of rape, rape of a child, aggravated sexual battery, and sexual battery.
Prosecutors said Bridges was staying with a friend in North Memphis in 2018 when the friend’s 11-year-old daughter told him Bridges had been molesting her and her sisters and cousin. The victims were ages 6 to 15.
Bridges remains in the Shelby County jail awaiting sentencing in July.
