(McKinney, Texas) – District Attorney Greg Willis’s office secured a 55 year sentence in prison without parole for a Plano man’s decade-long, repeated sexual assault of a child.
Lloyd Amos, 55, of Plano, Texas, was known by and had ongoing access to the child. He repeatedly sexually abused the child over a ten year period ending during the child’s 15th year. In 2022 the victim outcried to a sibling about the abuse. The victim’s sibling confronted Amos via text messages about the abuse, where Amos said that he had repented for the crime and that he would “take care of the monster inside himself.” The victim’s sibling then told their mother, who contacted law enforcement, and a formal investigation ensued.
Plano Police Department Detective Kristina McClain investigated the case, including the interview of the victim, who disclosed the details of the abuse.
The jury found Amos guilty of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child, a first degree felony offense with a range of punishment of 25-99 years or Life. Judge Tom Nowak assessed punishment at 55 years in prison. By law, a sentence for Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child is without eligibility for parole. “No child should suffer like this child, not even for a second. Now, with this predator locked away for over 50 years, our kids are safer,” stated Willis after sentencing.
Assistant Criminal District Attorneys Claire Mosley and Alex Haynes prosecuted the case, assisted by District Attorney Investigators Greg Bowers and Kim Voigt-Eanes, Victim Assistance Coordinator Valerie Miller, and Legal Secretary Christy Ware.
