PARKER COUNTY, Texas - A Parker County man will spend the next 35 years in prison for sexually abusing an 11-year-old girl.

38-year-old Aniceto Sanchez received his sentence on Thursday.

Sanchez's wife discovered the abuse in 2021, after she came home from work early to find the girl in her husband's bed.

The child told her that she had been molesting her.

The child told nurse examiners she had been abused by Sanchez 10 to 20 times.

The Parker County Sheriff's Department was contacted the next day and Sanchez was arrested.

Prosecutors say Sanchez changed his story several times, but never admitted to what he did.

Under Texas law, Sanchez is not eligible for parole.
