A 46-year-old man from San Antonio was sentenced Monday to life in prison for child sex crimes, according to the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office.
Officials say Morales began abusing an 8-year-old girl in 2011. She made an outcry for help when she turned 15.
Morales was a registered sex offender when the abuse began, according to the Bexar County DA’s Office. He was previously convicted of indecency with a child by contact.“As parents, we often worry about strangers doing harm to our children. This defendant was known and trusted by this young girl’s family. Her bravery in speaking up and standing up to this defendant in court is commendable.
Assistant District Attorneys Michael Villarreal and Kathryn Pollard of the Family Violence Division prosecuted this case in the 187th District Court. The San Antonio Police Department investigated the crime, officials said.
