A Richmond man convicted of sexually assaulting his friend’s stepdaughter has been sentenced to life in prison.

Timothy James Anglin, 45, was convicted March 11 of three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, a first-degree felony, according to the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office.

He was sentenced to three concurrent life sentences. He must serve 30 years in prison before he is eligible for parole, prosecutors said.

The young woman, who is now 21, was about 6 when the assaults occurred in 1994. She told her mother about them when she was 18. Her mother alerted police. Anglin was arrested in May 2007.

Prosecutors said that Anglin assaulted the girl while he was living with her family.

The girl testified during Anglin’s bench trial that some of the incidents occurred at a house where Anglin was hired to clean the backyard pool, prosecutors said. Other assaults occurred when Anglin took her riding on his motorcycle or when he went on camping trips with her family.

I still haven't figured out how to post a picture, but his ugly mug is included in the article linked above.

Interesting that they were able to get a conviction so long after the abuse occurred.

More info -- apparently there were at least three victims.

Timothy James Anglin, 45, was convicted of sexually abusing the step-daughter of his best friend in 1994, when she was 6 years old. During Angling’s sentencing last week, the victim’s two brothers testified that they also had been sexually abused by the man.

Assistant Fort Bend County District Attorney Suzy Morton, who prosecuted the case along with Assistant DA Mark LaForge, said evidence revealed during the trial showed Anglin repeatedly sexually abused the girl when he lived with the family in the 1990s.

Now 21, the victim testified that some of the assaults occurred at a house where Anglin had been hired to clean a swimming pool, others took place when Anglin took her for rides on his motorcycle, and also during camping trips her family took with him.

The victim told friends about the abuse when she was a teenager, and finally told her mother about the abuse after one of her brothers came forward and told her father that he’d been victimized by Anglin, according to information from the DA’s office.

“Keeping Timothy Anglin away from the public for the rest of his life would never have been possible without the remarkable courage of the three children in this case,” said LaForge. “Timothy James Anglin deserves every day of the three life sentences he got. Anyone familiar with the facts of these cases feels strongly about them.”

Morton said she wanted to commend Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Det. Mark Williams, who was able to put a case together that began when he was only 12 years old.

Fort Bend County 240th District Judge Thomas Culver III presided in the trial. Morton said Anglin had been previously convicted on felony charges of burglary of a habitation, burglary of a vehicle and injury to a child, and thus wasn’t eligible for probation.

There is no statute of limitations in Texas for sex crimes committed against children.

“Most of the time, child victims do not tell right away, especially when they have been sexually abused by someone they now,” Morton said. “We want children to know that no matter how long it takes for them to tell, what happened to them still matters, and we will prosecute the perpetrator if we can.”
