EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — An El Paso man has been sentenced to 55 years in prison for continuously sexually abusing two children over a five-year period, according to the El Paso County District Attorney’s Office.
The DA’s Office says Cesar Lazcano, 49, had a trial that began earlier this month, and on Oct. 20, the jury reached a unanimous guilty verdict on two counts of continuous sex abuse of a child under 14, and one count of indecency with a child by sexual contact.
Lazcano was sentenced on Tuesday, Oct. 28, to 55 years in state prison on the sex abuse charges and 22 years on the indecent charge. The sentences will be served concurrently, the DA’s Office said.
