Man gets 99 years for sex assault of Texas girl
LIBERTY, Texas (AP) — Jurors on Thursday convicted a man of taking part in the repeated sexual assaulting a Texas middle school student and sentenced him to 99 years in prison.
Eric McGowen wasn't in court when jurors found him guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child or later when they returned with the sentence, which also included a $10,000 fine. The 20-year-old had been free on bail and he skipped out during a break in proceedings on Wednesday, the first day of testimony.
The judge issued an arrest warrant for McGowen on Wednesday and allowed testimony to resume on Thursday. Jurors returned with the guilty verdict after deliberating for about 20 minutes. Then, after brief court proceedings on his punishment, they decided his sentence in less than 30 minutes.
Prosecutors say the girl, who was 11 years old at the time, was sexually assaulted on at least five occasions from mid-September through early December of 2010 by 20 men and boys from her town, Cleveland, which is about 45 miles northeast of Houston. Police began investigating after one of the girl's classmates told a teacher he saw video of her being sexually assaulted in an abandoned trailer.

Good riddance!
I hope he is found, and whoever is later convicted, serves a long and agonizing time in prison to think about their despicable behaviors.
I remeber reading this back in 2010 and couldn't believe that so many people could partake in that crime. 
What sickening people
