SAN ANTONIO – 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.
Additionally, Henderson is still facing additional charges for indecency with a child by exposure.
“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.”
