unrelated child. One child disclosed the abuse in 2009, but conflicting statements prevented detectives from moving forward at that time.
Minor cut off ties with Plano and moved to The Colony where the abuse continued. The case was reactivated in June 2014 when a second child came forward and provided corroborating information for the 2009 disclosure.
2 additional cases resulted from that disclosure. Minor was arrested and a search warrant was obtained for his DNA. A paternity test confirmed that Minor is the biological father of his daughter’s child.
The jury returned a guilty verdict Thursday for three counts of Continuous Sexual
Abuse of a Young Child and two counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child.
On Friday, the jury sentenced Minor to life confinement without the possibility of parole on each count of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Young Child and life confinement on each count of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child.
