Cornelio Macedo-Medrano, a 58-year-old resident of Titus County, Texas, has been found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for the continuous sexual assault of a child. The verdict comes after a lengthy legal process and a courageous effort by the victim to bring the perpetrator to justice.
The case dates back to 2021 when Macedo-Medrano was arrested following accusations of sexually assaulting a child over a span of two years. The victim, who was between the ages of 3 and 5 during the time of the abuse, displayed incredible bravery by coming forward and cooperating with law enforcement officials from the Mount Pleasant Police Department (MPPD).
The successful prosecution of this heinous crime was the result of collaborative efforts between multiple agencies and individuals. The Titus County District Attorney's Office played a pivotal role in building the case and presenting evidence that led to the conviction. The Northeast Texas Child Advocacy Center provided crucial support and resources for both the victim and the investigative process.
