HOUSTON (AP) - A Houston man must serve 99 years in prison after being convicted of sexually assaulting a woman in an attack he recorded with his cellphone and the video was used against him at trial.
Prosecutors say a Harris County jury on Wednesday convicted 30-year-old Darias Lacour of aggravated sexual assault in the 2015 parking lot attack. A judge then sentenced Lacour to 99 years behind bars.
Investigators say a Houston police officer saved the woman after walking up to a car parked in an abandoned lot.
