Sentencing for Michael Wayne Duck, 54, of Webster Parish, has been delayed due to the death of a family member of Judge Michael Craig.

According to a court official, Duck, who was found guilty on one count of first-degree rape of a child under 13 years of age and one count of second-degree rape, must have sentencing passed by the judge presiding over his trial.

Sentencing was scheduled for Wednesday, July 7. A new date and time have not yet been set.
