LUFKIN — A man who robbed and raped a Lufkin woman earlier this year is now awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to the crime last week. Antonio Brumley, 22, pleaded guilty after the state agreed to cap his sentence at 60 years in prison. A sentencing date has been set for January 17.
On April 5, Brumley reportedly broke into the victim’s home. The victim told Wall she was awakened by a strange sound and, turning on the bedside lamp, saw Brumley standing in her room. He then reportedly grabbed her and placed his hands over her nose and mouth. Brumley then bound her hands behind her back and raped her while beating her in the head. After the first sexual assault, he demanded money from her, and after receiving it, he raped her again. He then left the home.
The victim was able to call police after the incident and was taken to Woodland Heights Medical Center, where a sexual assault nurse examiner collected evidence. Brumley’s DNA was found through the course of a nurse’s examination. He remains in the Angelina County Jail on a collective $600,000 bond for two counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of aggravated robbery.
