Father sentenced to prison in incest case
A 36-year-old man was convicted of sexually assaulting his daughter and sentenced to 19-years in prison on June 26.
District Judge Robert Cheshire sentenced the man after a two-day trial.
The Advocate is not identifying the man because it would identify the victim.
He began molesting his daughter when she was 12 and continued to assault her for more than three years, according to a news release from District Attorney Stephen Tyler. He impregnated the girl while the family lived in Mississippi and tried to convince his oldest son to take the blame for the girl’s pregnancy, according to the news release.
The defendant fled to Victoria with his daughter and her child, where he was caught having sex with the girl. The family then fled to Louisiana and Oregon, Tyler said. In Oregon, the man was convicted of incest and sentenced to three years of probation.
Johna Stallings prosecuted the case.
