Bryan man gets six years for raping and impregnating teen
A 25-year-old Bryan man was sentenced to six years in prison Monday after pleading guilty to raping and impregnating a 14-year-old in 2012.
Eddie Robert Miguel Lemus was convicted of two counts of sexual assault of a child, a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. He was sentenced to six years for each offense with the terms to be served concurrently.
Lemus was arrested in July 2013 following an investigation by Bryan police who were notified by the teenager's mother in March 2013 that her 14-year-old daughter was pregnant and had told her mother Lemus had raped her several months earlier, according to a police report.
In an interview with a Scotty's House official, the teen said she was sitting on the couch with Lemus -- a relative of a family friend -- when he began kissing her, then held her down while he undressed and raped her, according to the police report. The girl told the interviewer she told Lemus to stop more than once, according to the report.
