BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - John Ross McElhenny, 29, of Biloxi, has been sentenced to life without parole plus 40 years for sexual battery of a child. Authorities say the abuse occurred from 2021 to 2022. According to Assistant District Attorney George Huffman, in March 2022, Biloxi Police officers responded to reports of sexual abuse after the then-four-year-old victim told her mother of the ongoing abuse. Upon investigation, a Biloxi police officer was flown by helicopter to an oil rig in Louisiana, where McElhenney was working, and taken into custody.
