FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — A former music producer out of Franklin has been convicted of sex crimes against a minor.
55-year-old Samuel “Sammy” Sylvester was found guilty on Wednesday of seven counts of statutory rape and two counts of sexual battery by an authority figure.
According to Franklin Police, between 2009 and 2010, Sylvester committed the offenses on a 16-year-old girl he’d been working with. He was arrested in 2019 and had previously been convicted of crimes against children in Minnesota and Tennessee.
