A man sentenced for raping grandchildren in suburban home
Published by RawNews1st
Luis Gonzalez, 54, of Plano, was sentenced to 35 years in prison after being convicted of sexually assaulting two of his grandchildren.
A jury found him guilty in June on five counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child.
He is also awaiting trial in a separate sexual assault case that could result in a life sentence if convicted.
During the trial, jurors watched video interviews of the victims and heard them testify on the witness stand. The assaults occurred at Gonzalez’s home in Plano, where the children stayed during summer visits. Gonzalez sexually assaulted the children vaginally, anally and digitally.
Gonzalez is awaiting trial on a second sexual assault case. If he is convicted in that case, he will have to serve a natural life sentence in prison.
