LUFKIN — A Lufkin man accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl was found not guilty by an Angelina County jury Monday afternoon. Felix Aguirre, 46, stood accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a girl in his family from the time she was age 13 to age 16. The girl testified last week that Aguirre would come into her room after her mother went to sleep and force her to have sex with him about three times a week.
The jury heard a recording the girl made of her and her mother confronting Aguirre about the abuse was brought into evidence. At one part in the tape, the mother can be heard asking Aguirre for money, $15,000 and she would “keep her mouth shut,” according to testimony. Aguirre took the stand Friday, saying he never sexually assaulted the girl and he believed it was about money to the girl and her mother.
