Texas man will serve 244 years in prison for raping 1-month-old daughter

A 27-year-old man was found guilty Wednesday of sexually abusing his 38-day-old daughter and causing 48 fractures all over her body.

The jury in Waco’s 54th State District Court deliberated about two hours before returning guilty verdicts for Patricio Medina on all five charges he faced: one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child younger than 6, two counts of injury to a child and two counts of endangering a child. The jury will return Thursday morning for sentencing.

Medina faces up to life in prison without parole on the sexual assault conviction, from five to 99 years on the injury to a child convictions and up to two years in a state jail on the endangerment convictions.

In the two-day trial, prosecutors Gabrielle Massey and Jennifer Jenkins told jury members the first weeks of life for Medina’s infant daughter were a “living hell” because of the abuse, which escalated to sexual assault when Medina was high on methamphetamine.

in every prison and he will have company.

He can not ever be let out because he is hard wired and there is no treatment in prison for predators. Actually, there is very little treatment period and it's mostly ineffective. They have to be caught early in life (many start out as abused) and then it takes years (according to my friend who worked with juvenile predators.)
