What is Super Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child?
“Super Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child” is an unofficial term used by prosecutors to describe an enhanced version of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child under Texas Penal Code § 22.021(f). This offense carries a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 25 years, making it one of the most serious criminal charges in Texas.
A standard Aggravated Sexual Assault charge (Penal Code § 22.021) carries a punishment range of 5 to 99 years or life in prison. However, Super Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child applies when:
✔ The alleged victim was under six (6) years old at the time of the offense.
✔ The alleged victim of the offense is younger than 14 years of age at the time the offense is committed and the actor commits the offense in a manner described in Subsection (a) ((2) (A) of the statute governing Aggravated Sexual Assault.
This enhancement dramatically increases penalties and eliminates parole eligibility, meaning that any conviction results in a minimum of 25 years in prison with no possibility of early release.
