Alabama Man Sentenced to 55 Years for Aggravated Sexual Abuse of a Child

An Alabama man was sentenced today to 660 months in prison and a lifetime term of supervised release for his aggravated sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12, announced Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance of the Northern District of Alabama.

Rick Lee Evans, 43, a truck driver from Talladega, Alabama, was convicted by a federal jury on Dec. 11, 2015, of one count of aggravated sexual abuse of a child under 12.

According to the evidence introduced at trial, Evans, a former U.S. Army soldier, and his then-wife, a Department of Defense employee, were residing in Germany when they were asked to take temporary custody of a five-year-old child whose parents were deployed to Iraq with the U.S. Army.

Trial evidence showed that from May 2007 to December 2008, while the child lived with Evans, he sexually abused the child on multiple occasions.
