A Hutto man who was convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child this month will spend the next 60 years in prison.
Alfredo Soto Enriquez, 36, was accused of sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl over several months last year. He was the first person in Texas to be charged under Jessica’s Law, which carries a minimum penalty of 25 years in prison with no chance of parole and a maximum of life in prison if convicted.
Enriquez also was found guilty of eight counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of indecency with a child. A Williamson County jury recommended a sentence of 490 years for Enriquez on Oct. 11.
Enriquez will not be eligible for parole until he is 96.

A Hutto man is the first person to fall under new state rules that allow prosecutors to seek the death penalty in certain child sexual abuse cases.
The Texas House of Representatives adopted Jessica's Law less than a year ago. The law is named for Jessica Lunsford, a Florida girl who was raped and murdered in 2005. The legislation is designed to punish sex offenders who prey on children and track them after their release.
