SENTENCING RESCHEDULED FOR CHILD SEX SUSPECT

  

 

Sentencing for a Brenham man who pleaded guilty to sexual abuse of a child has been rescheduled.

22-year-old Luis Perez pleaded guilty back in November to aggravated sexual assault of a child, a first-degree felony.

The sentencing hearing has been reset to 10:30 a.m., Thursdya May 14th.

According to the indictment filed back in 2016, Perez is accused of engaging in several sexual acts with a child younger than 14.

The charge is punishable by anywhere from probation to life in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Washington County Assistant District Attorney Lauren Haevischer says the office is strongly opposed to any probation, based on the seriousness of the crime.

Perez submitted an un-negotiated plea, which means there is not an agreement as to the sentence.

Per the plea, he must register as a sex offender.
