The victim, now 12, is related to Sullivan.
Sullivan's wife, in-laws, and supporters from his church were with Sullivan throughout his six-day trial.
Upon the reading of the verdict, Sullivan removed his glasses, slumped in his chair, and wept. Behind him in the benches, so did his family. He maintained his innocence throughout the trial and took the stand in his own defense.
Sullivan is scheduled to be sentenced on January tenth, 2005.
The victim was called to testify. She identified Sullivan as the person who molested her.
