KAUFMAN COUNTY, Texas — A convicted child sex offender was sentenced to 15 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice after violating terms of his probation.
Nearly 67-year-old David A. Wilhite was originally convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child in 2021 and sentenced to 10 years deferred adjudication — a move meant to not subject his young victim to the witness stand.
Wilhite was also ordered to register as a sex offender for life, according to court and state records.
Wilhite, of Terrell, Texas, entered into a plea agreement in his latest hearing on a motion to revoke earlier today, January 22, 2024, before Kaufman County 422nd District Court Judge Shelton Gibbs.
He was sentenced to 15 years in a Texas Department of Corrections facility with 534 days time served.
