A Collin County jury sentenced a Carrollton man to 55 years in prison after finding him guilty of aggravated sexual assault.

“People have a sacred right to feel safe in their own homes and not get despicably violated. We applaud this victim’s bravery as well as the excellent investigation by Plano Police,” said Collin County DA Greg Willis after the sentencing of Laxavier Whittley, 18.

According to the DA’s Office, on July 8, 2019, Whittley unlawfully entered the victim’s home around 5:30 a.m., shortly after her husband left for the gym.
