After two days of arguments and several hours of deliberation, a jury found a Comfort man, 46-yearold Jose Jimenez, guilty of indecency with a child, which was the lesser charge tied into charges of continuous sexual abuse of a child.
While Jimenez was facing 25 years to life in prison on his first-degree felony charges, he will be sentenced between two and 20 years for the second-degree indecency felony after the jury handed down its initial verdict on Wednesday afternoon.
During the trial, three victims were interviewed and all three accused Jimenez of sexually assaulting them at various times and ages. One victim accused Jimenez of assaulting her for a couple of years, beginning when she was about 10 years old, another accused him of assaulting her during a car ride when she was 14 years old and the last witness accused him of assaulting her during a party when she was about 5 years old.
