HENDERSON, Texas — A Henderson County man was sentenced Wednesday to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to continuous sexual abuse of a child.
According to the Henderson County District Attorney's Office, Jerry Neal Finnell, 40, of Trinidad, pleaded guilty to one count of continuous sexual abuse of a young child.
Finnell will be required to serve this sentence day-for-day, with no eligibility for parole.
Additionally, Finnell will be required to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life and be subject to a lifetime protective order, which protects the victim in this case.
