A Harker Heights man sat still as a statue during a sentencing hearing earlier this week as he listened to testimony that indicated that before the recent victim, he previously had molested two female family members but the incidents went unreported.
Marquon Jermell Warren, 27, already had pleaded guilty on April 22 to indecency with a child by contact after he repeatedly molested a girl under the age of 12 in 2019 and 2020.
No plea bargain had been reached in the case.
Prior to the hearing, Warren had been out of jail on bond but was immediately taken into custody by deputies after Judge John Gauntt pronounced his sentence of four years in prison.
