A Santa Fe man was sentenced to 25 years in jail for repeatedly sexually abusing two young girls.
Starting in 2010, Christopher Herod sexually abused two girls aged four and five.
Eventually, one of the victims informed her mother’s fiancé of the abuse. Shortly after, the second victim shared a similar account.
An investigation by the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office revealed that Herod would assault the children inside their home when their mother was not there.
On Thursday, a jury convicted Herod, 48, of guilty.
Following his conviction, Herod agreed to a 25-year prison term and relinquished any appeals.
What they’re saying: “I’m happiest for the victims. After all these years, they can now move forward to the next chapter in their lives knowing that they received some form of justice for the horrible things they endured,” said prosecutor Whitaker Chisam.
