A San Antonio man was sentenced to 99 years in prison in a sexual assault case involving a child on Friday, according to the Bexar County District Attorney.
Wesley Henderson, 56, was charged with continuous sexual assault of a child. He will not be eligible for parole.
Officials said Henderson abused the victim for over four years before they made an outcry to a relative. The maximum punishment was decided after the jury heard testimony from the victim, an outcry witness, and a second victim of Henderson’s abuse.“Today’s 99-year sentence for Wesley Henderson sends a firm message: we will relentlessly pursue justice for victims of child abuse,” said Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales. “Our community stands united against abuse and will ensure perpetrators are held accountable.”Victoria Lopez is a Digital Journalist at KSAT.
