EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A man was sentenced to 33 years in prison on Thursday, May 21, after an El Paso jury found him guilty on two counts of aggravated sexual assault on a child.
According to a news release from the El Paso District Attorney’s Office, the case against 47-year-old Kevin Jerome Woods began in January 2022 when the victim told their mother that Woods had been sexually abusing them years earlier, when they were under the age of six.
The victim participated in a forensic interview, where they reported a single incident and described the assault in detail.
“This case began when the victim was still a young child, and it has taken years to reach this
conclusion,” said District Attorney James Montoya. “No victim should have to wait that long for accountability. Our Office continues to work to move long-pending cases forward, and we deeply appreciate the jury’s careful attention to the evidence and their service in bringing this
case to a just resolution.”
District Attorney James Montoya said Woods is not eligible for parole and will have to serve the entirety of his sentence day-for-day, and he will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
The El Paso Police Department’s Crimes Against Children Unit investigated this case.
The trial was held in the 346th District Court with visiting Judge Dick Alcalá presiding.
