HAYS COUNTY, Texas \u2014 A Hays County court sentenced Austin Tyler Jordan to life in prison on Oct. 22 for continuous sexual abuse of a child.<\/p>\n
According to a news release on the Hays County website, a jury convicted Jordan, 30, on July 10 of continuous sexual abuse of a child, indecency with a child and online solicitation of a minor. Jordan chose to have the court decide his punishment. The court also sentenced him to 10 years in prison for each of the other convictions. The sentences will run concurrently.<\/p>\n
Trial evidence showed San Marcos police began investigating Jordan in December 2022 after discovering a minor was exchanging sexually explicit text messages with him. Investigators found that Jordan had been in a sexual relationship with a 10-year-old girl for three months, according to the Hays County district attorney\u2019s office. Police also found child sexual abuse material on Jordan\u2019s phone, and his DNA was found on the girl\u2019s bed.<\/p>\n
During the punishment hearing, the court heard evidence that Jordan had committed domestic violence against former girlfriends.<\/p>\n
