What the Charges Carry Under Texas Law
Continuous sexual abuse of a child is a first-degree felony in Texas. It applies when a person commits two or more acts of sexual abuse against a child younger than 14 over a period of 30 or more days, and it carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in prison, up to 99 years or life, with no parole eligibility until 25 years have been served, according to Deandra Grant Law. That statute was designed to address cases where victims cannot recall the exact dates of individual acts, and it notably eliminates the usual requirement that jurors unanimously agree on specific acts — instead requiring only that jurors agree two or more qualifying acts occurred during a period lasting 30 or more days, the same source notes.
The second charge, sexual assault of a prohibited person or spouse under Penal Code § 22.011(f), addresses non-consensual sexual offenses involving individuals whom the actor was legally barred from marrying or cohabiting with under state bigamy or incest statutes, per the Barbieri Law Firm. Texas Penal Code § 12.32 sets a baseline penalty of 5 to 99 years or life in prison plus an optional fine of up to $10,000, according to FindLaw.
