A 75-year-old Bedford man was sentenced on Thursday to 30 years in prison for a 2018 sexual assault of a child, according to Tarrant County court records.

The trial was this week in Criminal District Court No. 2 in Fort Worth.
Bedford police reported that the incident occurred on Jan. 15, 2018. A Tarrant County grand jury indicted Transue on the sexual assault in June 2018.
