A former Gilmer pastor found guilty on multiple child sex charges will not be eligible for parole for 180 years.
Judge Lauren Parish on Tuesday sentenced Hugo Fluellen, 54, to six consecutive life sentences.
Fluellen’s wife, Rosie Evans Fluellen, 44, remains in the Upshur County Jail on Tuesday under $150,000 bond on a charge of sexual assault of a child, said Upshur County District Attorney Billy Byrd said.
“She knew about it and was a party to the crime,” Byrd said.
The trial started Monday in the 115th Judicial District Court, during which the jury heard evidence that Hugo Fluellen sexually abused his victim for a decade.
