WILSON COUNTY - CHILD MOLESTER FOUND GUILTY BY A JURY AND GETS 55 YEARS IN PRISON
On April 8, 2026, a Wilson County jury found Fabian Garza guilty of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child, following testimony and evidence presented during trial that detailed the harm suffered by the victim.
This case moved forward because of the extraordinary courage of a child who came forward and shared their experience, despite the difficulty of doing so. Throughout the investigation and trial, the victim demonstrated remarkable strength in seeking justice.
The Floresville Police Department conducted the investigation, and the case was prosecuted by Marc Ledet and Lorena Whitney, with critical support provided to the victim and their family by victim coordinator Katie Quinney.
After the jury returned a guilty verdict, the defendant elected for the Court to determine punishment. The Honorable Russell Wilson sentenced Fabian Garza to 55 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
While this sentence holds the offender accountable, it also reflects the justice sought on behalf of the victim. The District Attorney’s Office recognizes the profound impact these crimes have and commends the victim and their family for their bravery and resilience throughout this process.
If you suspect child abuse, report it to your local law enforcement.
