A Lewisville man has been convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child.
A Denton County jury on Thursday found Deonta Childs-Payton guilty and sentenced him to 30 years in prison. He was indicted in May of this year.
Childs-Payton's offenses date back to 2014, prosecutors said.
"We are extremely proud of the victim who bravely took the stand on Tuesday to confront her abuser," read a Facebook post by the Denton County Criminal District Attorney's Office.
No other information was released.
