Rodriguez v. State

A jury convicted appellant, Abel Diaz Rodriguez, of three charges of sexual assault of a child, a person he was "prohibited from marrying,"1 and assessed punishment at confinement for life and a $10,000 fine on each charge, which the trial court ordered to run consecutively. In his sole issue on appeal, appellant contends that "[t]he evidence is insufficient to trigger the statutory enhancement provision under [ Penal Code section 22.011(f) ] because there was no evidence that Appellant was engaged in a bigamous relationship admitted at trial." We affirm.
