A Fort Bend County man convicted for sexually abusing two children over the span of multiple years has received a lengthy prison sentence.
Carlos Portillo-Molina, 45, was sentenced to a total of 80 years in prison for aggravated sexual assault of a child and prohibited sexual conduct after pleading guilty to the crimes.

On March 6, a sentencing hearing was held after Portillo-Molina pleaded guilty last November. The judge sentenced him to 60 years in prison for aggravated sexual assault of a child and 20 years for prohibited sexual conduct with an ancestor or descendant.
At the hearing, the state provided evidence that he began sexually abusing two children starting when they were between 7 and 8 years old.
In March 2024, one child—now an adult—reported the sexual abuse, which led to the second child reporting her sexual abuse and disclosed the defendant was still abusing her. After being confronted by the children’s family, Portillo-Molina went to the Rosenberg Police Department, where detectives interviewed him. He confessed in detail to his past and current sexual abuse of the children.
“Hopefully these strong, young survivors can now move forward with the security of knowing the defendant can never harm them again,” Lead prosecutor Jazmine Smith said in a written statement.
