Fort Worth man convicted, sentenced for aggravated sexual abuse of a child
A 35-year-old Fort Worth man was convicted of aggravated sexual abuse of a child Wednesday and sentenced to 45 years in prison, according to the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office.
Jose Ines Hernandez was accused of sexual abuse of a girl younger than 14, according to court records. According to an indictment of Hernandez, he was accused of abusing the girl in 2012 and 2013.
Police said the abuse was reported in 2018 and that the victim shared with police specific details of what occurred, but because the case involves a minor they are limited in what they are legally allowed to share.
The jury trial was held this week in 396th District Court.
Court records show the case was originally investigated by the Fort Worth Police Department, then dismissed and refiled by the district attorney’s office. That indictment was filed in September 2021.
