Tony Skipper Pleads Guilty to Child Abuse | Lubbock News

Tony Skipper just pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child — a first-degree felony carrying a 20-year sentence — after being arrested in July and held since. The abuse allegedly occurred in 2018 when the victim, then under 14, said Skipper — a family member — touched her inappropriately, stared at her at night, and smelled her dirty clothes. In exchange for his plea, the indecency charge was dropped. He’ll serve at least 10 years before parole eligibility and must register as a sex offender for life. This case underscores the vital role of listening to victims and holding perpetrators accountable — a painful but necessary step toward justice.
