With his attorney, wife and other supporters by his side 70 year old Roy Harriger Sr. entered the Town of Yates courthouse Wednesday night leaving all the talking to his attorney who made an interesting comment.

“Eyewitness News reporter: Do you have any comments tonight before you go in?”

“Attorney Larry Koss: I hope Michigan State beats North Carolina.”

Harriger pleaded not guilty to felony sexual conduct, sodomy and incest. These charges surround incidents between 2000 and 2001 involving Harriger’s own grandchildren who now live in Pennsylvania.

“I would have never thought in my lifetime that he would’ve done this,” said Teresa Harriger, mother of the two victims.
