PALESTINE — A former Texas Department of Criminal Justice correctional officer was sentenced last week to five life sentences for sexual assault of a child in Anderson County.
David Wayne Green, 42, of Palestine, was sentenced to prison Nov. 7 by District Judge Deborah Oakes Evans for multiple counts of sexual assault of a child that occurred over a two-year period.
“There is no other sentence but life, and I am sentencing you to life on each of the five counts of sexual assault. The sentences are to run consecutively,” Evans said during the sentencing.
The former TDCJ correctional officer had admitted to Judge Evans at a hearing on July 27 to sexually assaulting a female child beginning when the victim was 12 and ending when the girl, then 14, discovered she was pregnant by Green.
Green’s guilty plea avoided a trial by a jury.
