Two men accused of breaking into a Crown Heights apartment in 2007 and terrorizing a family during a robbery were convicted of sex abuse, robbery, assault and other charges on Monday [June 27, 2011] after a trial that lasted seven weeks in State Supreme Court in Brooklyn.


Justin Harris, 28, and Glendon Jackson,23, broke into the home on Sterling Place in the early morning hours of Aug. 30, 2007, with a third man, DeShawn Owens, 28, according to testimony from several victims. Mr. Jackson was convicted of rape; he attacked a 43-year-old mother and her 17-year-old daughter in a bathroom while another daughter, 5, looked on.
