Officials said Henderson abused the victim for over four years before they made an outcry to a relative.
The maximum punishment was decided after the jury heard testimony from the victim, an outcry witness, and a second victim of Henderson’s abuse.
Additionally, Henderson is still facing additional charges for indecency with a child by exposure.
“Today’s 99-year sentence for Wesley Henderson sends a firm message: we will relentlessly pursue justice for victims of child abuse,” said Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales. “Our community stands united against abuse and will ensure perpetrators are held accountable.”
