UPDATE:: Former Decatur pastor who sexually assaulted a child gets 40-year prison sentenceDecatur pastor Jose L. Aboytes, 60, pleaded guilty Wednesday to one Class X felony count of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, ending his trial on charges he raped and sexually abused a girl younger than 13 from his congregation.
A former Decatur pastor who described sexual assaults of a girl in his former congregation as a “small error” was sentenced to 40 years in prison Thursday.
Jose L. Aboytes will have to serve the sentence at 85 percent before he is eligible for parole, which means the 60-year-old defendant will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars. He had pleaded guilty to one count of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child under 13. Prosecutors have said the assaults took place between September 2015 and September 2016 while he was serving Palabra Miel Hispanic Church.
The
sentencing hearing is set for July 11 in Macon County Circuit Court. He
faces between six and 60 years in prison, of which he would have to
serve at least 85 percent.
The
charges involved a girl who attended Palabra Miel Hispanic Church, and
the offenses reportedly happened between September 2015 and September
2016.
