Prosecutors: Texas couple filmed sex abuse of dozens of kids
Jake Bleiberg, Associated Press Updated 5:30 pm CDT, Wednesday, April 24, 2019





DALLAS (AP) — A Texas couple were sentenced Wednesday to 60 years each in prison for filming themselves sexually abusing kids, a case that prosecutors say involved more than two dozen young victims including babies.

A federal judge in Waco gave Christopher Almaguer and his wife Sarah Rashelle Almaguer the maximum prison sentences. They had pleaded guilty in October to one count each of sexual exploitation of children and production of child pornography.

Paul Perez Jr., Christopher Almaguer's brother, also was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of receiving child porn.

The Almaguers filmed themselves sexually assaulting at least 25 children — ranging in age from 8 months to 14 years old — including members of their own family, children they baby-sat for and kids from their Central Texas church, federal prosecutors said. Court records say the 27-year-olds were the legal guardians of at least one of the children.

Like the others who were child molesters, they probably would have gotten GOP support.

Or a de facto death sentence.

Cons on the inside don't like child molestors. They won't last long...

"...and kids from their Central Texas church"

Probably a very faithful couple.
