A 30-year-old New Braunfels man was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison Monday for raping and beating a 14-year-old girl in her home in August 2007.
Jose Rivera had said he drove a one-armed man to the house on the west side of New Braunfels but knew nothing of the attack on the girl inside. The one-armed man, Joe Saucedo, a friend of the family of the victim, apparently has left the area and prosecutors could not find him for the trial.
