Sanderson was charged after the child told a trusted adult.The district attorney’s office says Sanderson admitted to the sexual abuse in Texas and Florida while being interviewed by Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office investigators."Children inherently trust the adults in their lives to protect them from harm. Jason Sanderson violated and weaponized that trust. It is my hope that the sentence gives strength and power to this family and the young child," Prosecutor Elizabeth Howard said."It’s a good day when we can get a significant sentence without having to expose the child survivor to the experience of a trial," said Middleton. "The defendant will be 65 years old when his sentence expires, and our neighborhoods will be free of this threat for the next 25 years."
