Texas Mom Gets 30 Years for Sex Assault of Daughter, 9

(Henderson, Texas) A 38-year-old Overton (TX) mom, Christine Mack, pleaded guilty yesterday to aggravated sexual assault of her 9-year-old daughter.

According to Rusk County ADA Richard W. Kennedy, Mack encouraged her boyfriend, 49-year-old Tony Traylor, to engage in sex with the 9-year-old while Mack watched.

The crime reportedly occurred last summer.

After making an outcry to a friend or relative (Kennedy declined to say which), the police were notified and the child gave an interview at the Rusk County Child Advocacy Center. The meeting was also attended and monitored by law enforcement and the DA’s office.

Based on the results of that interview, they immediately obtained a search warrant that resulted in evidence implicating both Mack and Traylor in the aggravated sexual assault of the child.

When faced with the evidence, Kennedy said both suspects eventually confessed to their roles in the crime.

Christine Mack was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Tony Traylor was also sentenced to 30 years in a separate proceeding. Each must serve at least half of the sentence prior to being eligible for parole.
