WACO, Texas (KWTX) - UPDATE: A Waco man who tattooed the name of his 6-year-old sexual assault victim on his arm near the names of his two children was sentenced to 30 years in prison Wednesday.

A 474 th State District Court jury deliberated 20 minutes before determining punishment for Thomas Arthur Stewart. The jury convicted him of aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by contact after 2 ½ hours of deliberations.

Jurors recommended that Judge Alan Bennett sentence the 38-year-old Stewart to 25 years in prison on the first count and five years in prison on the second.

Bennett ordered Stewart to serve the sentences consecutively, for a total of 30 years. He must be given credit for serving at least half of the 30-year term before he can seek parole.
