BEAUMONT, Texas — A Beaumont man pleaded guilty to indecency with a child on Thursday.
The prosecution Wednesday presented it's case against Donald Joseph McCracken, 50, of Beaumont.
The assault happened in Beaumont when the victim was 9-years-old.
The mother of the victim was contacted by Beaumont Police as officers were investigating child pornography allegations involving McCracken.
The child made an outcry after hearing her mother speak about the allegations. The child was interviewed at the Garth House where a forensic interview revealed evidence of two assaults.
McCracken made the decision to plead guilty after the victim had given her testimony. The plea agreement is for 10 years probation, and he must register for life as a sex offender.
