Former Adult Day Care Driver Sentenced To 40 Years For Sexually Assaulting Mentally Disabled Client In North Texas
FORT WORTH, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — A driver for a North Texas adult day care center was sentenced to 40 years in prison after being convicted of sexually assaulting a mentally disabled female client.
Edgar Lane Sharp Jr., 34, was sentenced Friday in Fort Worth.
On Thursday, jurors convicted Sharp, who worked for C3 Christian Academy in Grand Prairie and picked up and drove home clients.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports the woman, who's deaf, was 24 at the time of the assault but has the mental capacity of 10-year-old.
Her relatives in mid-2017 discovered she was pregnant.
The Dallas Morning News reports the victim told authorities that she had sex with someone named Edgar at a home.
Further details weren't immediately available on the pregnancy.
Sharp was arrested last year in Oklahoma City.
