Former Ohioan sentenced for Oconee sex crime

A former Ohio man was sentenced in the General Sessions Court at Walhalla this afternoon to 14 years in prison for the crime of criminal sexual conduct with a minor second degree. The sentence was handed down to Adam Raymundos Birkey. Part of the sentence will place Birkey on the registry of sex offenders. The grandfather of the victim called him a predator. Birkey said, “I’m truly sorry to my family.” He indicated that eventually he’d like to be forgiven.
