Sex assault of teen sends man to prison

A Fredericksburg man charged with sexually assaulting a minor could spend up to 26 years in prison after accepting a plea deal, prosecutors said.

Under the agreement approved by 451st state District Judge Kirsten Cohoon, Patrick Conger, 33, received two 13-year prison sentences on charges of sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by sexual contact, officials said.

Both offenses are second-degree felonies with a range of two to 20 years behind bars under Texas law. Conger was sentenced Oct. 31, according to a prepared release from the Kendall County District Attorney’s Office.
