East Texas Man Sentenced Over Children Sex Acts

LUFKIN (AP) – An East Texas man has been convicted of showing two siblings child pornography and then forcing the youngsters to perform sex acts on each other. Wesley Don Parish, 52, of Diboll was sentenced to 10 years on each of 2 counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child. A jury in Lufkin late Thursday convicted Parish of aggravated sexual assault of the children he was baby-sitting. Investigators say the girl was 8 and the boy was 6. Parish testified that the children were lying about him and that he overheard the boy ask the girl to perform a sex act on him. Parish says he told the children it was bad behavior and to stop. Parish was indicted in December.
