Alaska Jury Convicts Elder Abuse Perpetrator | Anchorage News

A jury in Nome, Alaska, convicted 78-year-old Isaac Ozenna Senior of 28 felony counts of child abuse spanning 30 years — from 1984 to 2014 — after a two-and-a-half-week trial with 15 witnesses and 13.5 hours of deliberation. Eight additional victims came forward after one 14-year-old survivor broke her silence in April 2020, sparking a massive multi-agency investigation. All nine survivors testified bravely despite years of fear. Ozenna was acquitted on six charges. Sentencing is set for January 29, 2027, with a minimum sentence of over 47 years and 6 months — a long-awaited reckoning for the victims and their families.
