KETK reports Thomas Harold-George Brookbank was arrested in July of 2012 at the Shiloh Pines mobile home park on the 2500 block of Shiloh Road in Tyler. At the time, the mother of a 9-year-old female victim said that Brookbank had sexually assaulted the girl and her friends at a clubhouse in a nearby wooded area. There were multiple young victims reported. <\/p>\n<p>Following the incident, even Brookbank\u2019s half-sister, Jeanne Morrison, told KETK that she was wary of him. \u201cI hope he does get a conviction. And I hope he does a long time serving, because if he gets out, I know he\u2019ll do it again,\u201d Morrison had said. Jason Parrish, the prosecuting attorney in the case, says, \u201cSeveral years ago state legislation adjusted the parole statute in the law, as it pertains to the sexual assault of younger kids.\u201d If a victim is 6 years old or younger, a conviction will automatically shift from 25 years to life.\u201d Brookbank will have no opportunity for parole<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER \u2014 A Tyler man who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing young children at a mobile home park received a life sentence on Wednesday morning in a Smith County courtroom.
