A Gilmer woman was sentenced to 28 years in prison this past week after she pleaded guilty to child sex charges.
Upshur County’s Judge Lauren Parish of the 115th Judicial District Court sentenced Rosie Evans Fluellen, 44, to prison for criminal responsibility for the conduct of another and aggravated sexual assault of a child, according to information provided by Upshur County District Attorney Billy Byrd.
Fluellen’s husband and former Gilmer pastor Hugo Fluellen, 54, is serving six consecutive life sentences after a jury convicted him in October of several counts of indecency with a child, aggravated sexual assault of a child and sexual assault of a child.
Evidence presented during his trial showed he began inappropriately touching his victim when she was in the second grade and while he was a pastor, and that he would often molest the child on the way home from church, eventually fathering a child with her.
