Local man Elias Hernandez, 63 years old, was sentenced this Tuesday to 15 years for the sexual assault of a female minor here in Maverick County which occurred during the month of February of 2012. District Attorney Roberto Serna stated that this type of an individual is a danger to our children and that time in prison is the only form of justice. Serna further added that Hernandez will be carrying out the complete sentence and there will likely not to be any chance for him to be released before the his sentence is completely carried out.
Roberto Serna also informed The News Gram that in light of the recent Kauffman County DA shooting there have not been any specific procedural changes to security at the District Attorney's office. Serna noted that that case seems to be an isolated incident of retaliation and there have not been different security procedures put in place but assures that the District Attorney's office is and continues to be a secure and safe facility.
