Under Texas law, Aggravated Sexual Assault is considered a first-degree felony, the second-highest offense in the state. The sentencing range for this type of crime can range from 5 to 99 years or life imprisonment in the Texas state prison, and may also incur a maximum fine of $10,000.
However, certain circumstances can increase the minimum sentence required. For instance, if the victim is under six years of age, the minimum sentence is 25 years. The same minimum sentence applies if the victim is between 6 and 13 years old and the defendant used aggravating factors such as employing a deadly weapon, causing severe harm, or threatening to engage in child trafficking.
