Park Hill resident Jimmy Charles Wright was sentenced to 11 years and five months in prison on Friday in federal court after pleading guilty to the sexual abuse of a child. Authorities reported that the abuse occurred between February 27 and March 11, 2024, involving a victim between the ages of 12 and 15. Wright pleaded guilty on July 24, 2025, and the judge also imposed a concurrent four-year sentence for related charges.
According to FOX23, Wright's federal sentence is 11 years and five months, with an additional four years for two counts of abusive sexual contact. The judge directed that both the federal and state sentences be served concurrently, as mentioned during Friday's sentencing hearing.
FOX23 also reported that Wright will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service until he is transferred to a Bureau of Prisons facility. The outlet mentioned that the court's judgment resolves the criminal case against Wright in both the federal and related state proceedings.
