Convicted Rapist Sentenced to 55 Years

ANGELINA COUNTY — A Lufkin man was sentenced to 55 years in prison Tuesday afternoon for breaking into a woman’s home and raping her last April. Antonio Brumley, 22, appeared before state District Judge Barry Bryan Tuesday to answer for his actions the night of April 5, 2011. Because of a deal, in exchange for his guilty plea entered in December, the maximum amount of prison time Brumley faced was 60 years on each of two counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of aggravated robbery.

The victim said she was awakened by a strange sound and turned on her bedside lamp to see Brumley standing in a corner. He then grabbed her and placed his hands over her nose and mouth. She said he 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. Brumley then left her home.
