A Tarrant County jury has convicted Richard Monk, 37, of aggravated sexual assault and family violence, and a judge sentenced him to 99 years in prison. The verdict and sentence were announced by the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office, which credited local investigators and law enforcement for their work building the case.
According to a Tarrant County District Attorney's Office Facebook post published Thursday, the jury's guilty verdict against Monk covered both the aggravated sexual assault and family violence charges. The post also laid out the 99-year sentence, a term that will keep Monk behind bars for decades to come.
Prosecutors Riley Reynolds and Jeanne Truglio handled the case for the district attorney's office, with Kristina Gonzalez serving as the investigator, per the same post.
Per Tarrant County, the public has had the ability to view and obtain copies of documents from civil, family and criminal felony cases filed with the Tarrant County District Clerk's Office since February 2010.
Beyond the verdict, sentence and the names of those involved in prosecuting the case, no further case details — including the case number, trial dates or specific circumstances of the offense — have been made public by the district attorney's office.
