AUSTIN (KXAN) — A Travis County jury convicted a 73-year-old man of continuous sexual abuse of a child on Aug. 6, according to the Travis County District Attorney’s Office.
The DA said Antonio Lopez Elizalde, 73, was sentenced to serve 50 years in prison related to the charge.
According to the DA’s office, Elizalde was arrested in November 2024 and charged with the offenses that occurred between May 2017 and May 2020.
“Since the jury convicted Mr. Elizalde on the primary offense of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Young Child, the jury did not render verdicts on the remaining lesser included offenses,” the DA’s office said.
Those charges included aggravated sexual assault of a child under 6 and 14 years of age and two counts of indecency with a child by sexual contact.
“Our office is grateful to our committed staff and law enforcement partners who worked tirelessly to hold the defendant accountable and seek justice for the victim,” said Travis County District Attorney José Garza. “We hope this verdict continues to help the victim with their healing journey.”
